This project continues a line of research in the area of general equilibrium macroeconomics. The investigator has already offered a number of interesting solutions to various puzzles in the macroeconomics-labor area, and has developed techniques that greatly enhance the usefulness of representative agent models. This continued research has two main goals. The first is to extend the analysis of the labor market models with nonconvexities, and the second is to study models of the labor market which explicitly allow for heterogeneity . With regard to the first goal, the extensions include a comparison of different types of nonconvexities, decentralization of optimal resource allocations with particular attention paid to involuntary unemployment, incorporation of labor market flows, and a careful analysis of the dynamics relationships implied by nonconvexities. With respect to the second goal, the emphasis will be on introducing heterogeneity into aggregate models of the labor market. The forms of heterogeneity considered are skilled and unskilled labor, married males and married females, and adults and youths. The aim is to study models which will account for the large differences in cyclical employment fluctuations experienced by these groups. The analysis will focus on to what extent different specifications of technology and preferences can produce the observed phenomena.

该项目继续在一般领域的研究路线 均衡宏观经济学 调查人员已经提供了一个 许多有趣的解决方案，各种难题，在 宏观经济学-劳动力领域，并已开发的技术，大大 增强代表性代理模型的有用性。 这种持续 研究有两个主要目标。 第一个是扩展分析， 劳动力市场模型的非凸性，第二是研究 明确考虑异质性的劳动力市场模型。 关于第一个目标，扩展包括比较 不同类型的非凸性，最优资源的分散性 特别关注非自愿失业的拨款， 结合劳动力市场流动，并仔细分析 非凸性所隐含的动力学关系。 相对于 第二个目标，重点将是引入异质性， 劳动力市场的总体模型。 异质性的形式 被认为是熟练和非熟练劳动力，已婚男性和已婚 女性，成年人和青年人。 目的是研究模型， 造成周期性就业波动的巨大差异 这些群体的经历。 分析将集中在什么 不同的技术规格和偏好可以 产生观察到的现象。
