L markets are the conduits through which labor moves from rural to urban areas, a shift in population that will drive China’s development. Although the focus of considerable research, scholars do not agree on how well labor markets have been functioning during the past two decades (Cai, Wang, and Du). Some researchers believe that significant barriers still exist in China’s economy, and that th...

We show that frictions in labor and capital markets can be a source of competitive advantage for a¢ liates of corporate groups over standalone …rms in environments where bene…ts from internal markets’‡exibility are high. We argue that the advantage of ‡exibility in changing labor inputs is related to how di¢ cult it is to change capital inputs. We predict that if substituting labor with capital...

The housing and business cycles are clearly tied together and this has been documented in the recent literature. Our analysis of the housing and labor markets is based on a DMP model for interdependent housing and labor markets that gives rise naturally to vacancy rates in housing and labor markets. We estimate the model using data at the MSA level on housing vacancies from the US Census Bureau...

We study labor-tying in a competitive agricultural economy. The co-existence of seasonal fluctuations in income and imperfect credit markets suggests that tied contracts should dominate casual labor markets. However, empirical observation from India suggests that this is far from being the case, and indeed, that there is a declining trend in labor tying. We consider a model that permits deviati...

In recent years, a number of online labor markets have emerged that allow workers from around the world to sell their labor to an equally global pool of buyers. The creators of these markets play the role of labor market intermediary by providing institutional support and remedying informational asymmetries. In this paper, I explore market creators’ choices of price structure, price level and i...

I examine the causes and the consequences of differences in labor market outcomes across local labor markets within a country. The focus is on a long-run general equilibrium setting, where workers and firms are free to move across localities and local prices adjust to maintain the spatial equilibrium. In particular, I develop a tractable general equilibrium framework of local labor markets with...
