摘要:This paper reviews recent approaches to modeling the labour market and assesses their implications for ination dynamics through both their e¤ect on marginal cost and on price-setting behaviour. In a search and matching environment, we consider the following modeling setups: right-to-manage bargaining vs. e¢ cient bargaining, wage stickiness in new and existing matches, interactions at the rm level between price and wage-setting, alternative forms of hiring frictions, search on-the-job and endogenous job separation. We nd that most speci cations imply too little real rigidity and, so, too volatile ination. Models with wage stickiness and right-to-manage bargaining or with rm-speci c labour emerge as the most promising candidates.
