The Beveridge Curve, Matching, and Labour Market Flows
A standard theory of the Beveridge curve is based on the matching function: when unemployment is high, vacancies are filled quickly, so fewer vacancies are needed to balance the inflow into unemployment. Estimating matching functions on panel data, we find no (or very weak) evidence that vacancies are filled quickly when unemployment is high. A model with on‐the‐job search can explain the Beveridge curve when vacancies are filled at a constant ra…
Market Shares, Financial Constraints and Pricing Behaviour in the Export Market
A structural dynamic model of price and quantity adjustment is estimated on time series data for exports and export prices. Two sources of dynamics are considered: customer markets and preset prices. As predicted by the customer market model, the market share adjusts slowly after a change in the relative price and financial conditions affect prices. Prices are found to be sticky in the sense that they do not reflect the most recent information ab…
Insiders, Outsiders, and Nominal Wage Contracts
While the consequences of nominal wage contracts have been rather thoroughly analyzed, there is no generally accepted theory of why such contracts prevail. In this paper, the author argues that the distinction between insiders and outsiders is important for understanding nominal wage contracts. Since most employment fluctuations take the form of fluctuations in hiring, insiders are normally not affected by them. Since prices are primarily determi…
Customer Markets, Credit Market Imperfections and Real Price Rigidity
According to standard theory, an increase in demand should raise prices of goods, given factor prices. Empirically, however, prices appear to be unaffected by short-run variations in demand. This paper suggests an explanation of this observation. If customers react slowly to price changes and credit markets are imperfect, prices may be unchanged or even fall when demand increases. The reason is that when demand is high, profits are high, and firm…
