Shimer (a) claims that the Mortensen-Pissarides search model of unemployment lacks an ampiflication mechanism because it cannot generate the observed business cycle fluctuations in unemployment given labor productivity shocks of plausible magnitude.

Section 3 presents the MP model with life cycle features, and then examines the theoretical age-pattern of labor market flows at the steady state and in response to productivity shocks.

Section 4 applies the model to the data after calibrating its key parameters to Cited by: 1. Almond and his co-authors evaluate whether the Great China Famine had negative effects on its survivors. According to the fetal-origins hypothesis, cohorts in utero during the famine should have suffered the greatest long-term damage.

Consistent with this hypothesis, the authors finds a broad spectrum of compromised outcomes for cohorts born in who appear in the Chinese.

This result can be understood to arise from the productivity enhancing (cost reducing) effect of offshoring. If the search cost is identical in the two sectors, or even if the search cost is higher in the sector that experiences offshoring, the economy-wide rate of unemployment decreases.

The researchers also find multiple equilibrium outcomes. © The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development / The World Bank H Street NW Washington DC Telephone:.

OVER THIRTY YEARS ago, in his presidential address to the American Economic Association, Milton Friedman asserted that in the long run the Phillips curve was vertical at a natural rate of unemployment that could be identified by the behavior of inflation.(1) Unemployment below the natural rate would generate accelerating inflation, and unemployment above it, accelerating.
