Abstract: This paper considers a particular modification of preferences in a dynamic general equilibrium model with labor-market search that implies, despite the efficient risk-sharing, unemployed workers are worse off. We show that this specific assumption allows to account for the acyclicity of the real wage and its negative correlation with hours.
