Search Theory at Twenty-One

Christopher Pissarides

CEP Discussion Papers from Centre for Economic Performance, LSE

Abstract: This paper reviews work in search theory, twenty-one years after the publication of the influential Phelps volume. It concentrates on work that builds on the concept of the matching function. It reviews the empirical foundations of the matching function, its implications for labour market equilibrium, in particular wage formation and employment dynamics, and suggests directions for future work.
