摘要：We develop a two-stage calibration method for search models.In the first stage, without the need to specify how wages are determined,we show that in order to generate the observed large unemployment volatility,it’s both necessary and sufficient for the profit elasticity with respect to productivity to be above a lower bound.In the second stage, we show that optimal incentive contracts can account for unemployment volatility and wage dispersion simultaneously,even when the value of non-market activity is procyclical and wages are flexible.Moreover,it is shown that unemployment insurance can increase output by encouraging more socially-efficient contracts.
