The incorporation of on-the-job search allows faster growth to reduce unemployment ...

In these setups, we comprehensively study the relations between technical progress, unemployment, and job creation and destruction in the sho...

But the trend evolutions are clear. In most countries, TFP growth has been lower-often much lower-than it was before the mid-1970s. And the decrease in the underlying TFP growth rate appears to have been quite abr...
