“…The surplus distribution can be solved for these aggregate wages by setting all time derivatives to zero in equations 1 to 4. The transition to a general equilibrium model from an individual model is often not explicitly stated in the literature (den Butter and Gorter, 1999).…”

“…This paper develops an equilibrium job search model that draws upon Pissarides (1990), Gautier and den Butter (1997), den Butter and Gorter (1999) and Van der Linden and Dor (2001) and then calibrates the model to Australian data. The overall structure of the model is related to previous work but we provide a more coherent categorisation of job and worker flows and the methodology of solving the model.…”

This paper develops a general equilibrium job matching model, which is used to assess the impact of active labour market policies, reductions in unemployment benefits and reductions in worker bargaining power on long-term unemployment and other key macro variables. The model is calibrated using Australian data. Simulation experiments are conducted through impulse response analysis. The simulations suggest that active labour market programs (ALMPs) targeted at the long-term unemployed have a small net impact and produce adverse spillover effects on short-term unemployment. Reducing the level of unemployment benefits relative to wages and worker bargaining power have more substantial effects on total and long-term unemployment and none of the spillover effects of ALMPs.

“…Our paper can be seen as a contribution to this second stream of literature. Like Pissarides (1994Pissarides ( , 2000 (see also Den Butter andGorter 1999, andKennes 2006), our contribution introduces on-the-job search in the good and bad jobs framework (see for instance Acemoglu 1999, 2001, and Albrecht and Vroman 2002 for models without on-the-job search).…”

This paper studies the implications of learning-by-doing on youth unemployment and market efficiency when workers benefiting from this kind of training experience search (while on the job) for a higher skill job. Firms with low-skill jobs suffer from a poaching behavior by firms with high-skill jobs, causing a shortage of low-skill jobs and excessive youth unemployment. An optimal policy, consisting of taxing the output of high-skill jobs and subsidizing the output of low-skill jobs, restores market efficiency and reduces youth unemployment.
