ECON-471 Unemployment, Search and Matching

Faculty:

Albrecht, James

Matching frictions are important in many markets. In the labor market, workers search for suitable jobs and firms try to hire suitable workers. Some workers can't find a job while at the same time some vacancies remain unfilled. In this course, we will analyze markets with matching frictions with a particular emphasis on understanding unemployment.
