''Efficiency in a search and matching model with endogenous labor participation and different skill groups''
( 2020, Vol. 40 No.4 )
 
 
This study addresses endogenous labor force participation based on a search and matching model with workers' productivity dispersion within different skill groups. I show that equilibrium vacancy creation can be both excessive and insufficient from the viewpoint of economic efficiency, depending on the relative share of workers in a high-skill group.
 
 
Keywords: Search, Matching, Participation, Efficiency, Skill groups
JEL: J6 - Mobility, Unemployment, and Vacancies: General
J2 - Demand and Supply of Labor: General
