''Equilibrium wage dispersion and the role of endogenous search effort revisited''
( 2009, Vol. 29 No.1 )
 
 
This paper considers whether extending the on-the-job search model to account for endogenous search effort can help explain the shape of the wage distribution. More precisely, I show that it can be the case that the model generates hump-shaped wage distributions if preferences are non-separable between consumption and leisure.
