Equilibrium wage dispersion and the role of endogenous search effort revisited

Economics Bulletin, 2009, vol. 29, issue 1, 303-311

Abstract: 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.
