ILADES-UAH Working Papers from Universidad Alberto Hurtado/School of Economics and Business

Abstract: We show that in a search/matching model with endogenous participation in which workers are heterogeneous with respect to market productivity, satisfying the Hosios rule leads to excessive vacancy creation. The reason is that the marginal worker does not internalize the effect of his or her participation on average productivity.
