Frictional Wage Dispersion: A Puzzle?∗
This paper demonstrates that the standard search and matching models of equilibrium unemployment, once properly calibrated, can generate only a tiny amount of frictional wage dispersion, i.e., wage differentials among ex-ante similar workers induced purely by search frictions. The analysis is centered around a specific measure of wage dispersion— the ratio between the average wage and the lowes...
متن کاملThe Wage Premium: A Puzzle
In this paper, I present evidence that the premium for a college education is essentially uncorrelated with the business cycle and that the average hours worked by college graduates are less volatile than those worked by nongraduates. Business cycle theory is then shown to be inconsistent with these observations when endogenous utilization and skill acquisition are incorporated. Abstracting fro...
متن کاملThe Alliance Formation Puzzle and Capacity Constraints
The formation of an alliance in conflict situations is known to suffer from a collective action problem and from the potential of internal conflict. We show that budget constraints of an intermediate size can overcome this strong disadvantage and explain the formation of alliances.
متن کاملThe Unemployment Volatility Puzzle: Is Wage Stickiness the Answer?
I study the cyclical behavior of an equilibrium search model with endogenous job creation and destruction and extract from it a wage equation that can be compared with the econometric evidence. Job creation in the model is influenced by wages in new matches. I summarize microeconometric evidence on wages in new matches and show that the key model elasticities are consistent with the evidence. T...
متن کاملDeterminants of Wage Growth and Wage Distribution Dynamics
This paper presents a new framework to analyze the effects of some economics factors on the U.S. distribution of wages. The paper seeks to specifically find the contributing factors of wage inequality and show how differently these factors influence wage dynamics at various points of the distribution. This paper provides valuable information of where in the wage distribution dynamics these fact...
