Application of Search Theory and Dynamic Contract Theory to Dynamic Macroeconomic Analyses

在本研究项目中，笔者运用搜索匹配理论和动态契约理论对劳动力市场进行了宏观分析。特别是，我使用了一个结合了这两种方法的长期合同模型，并探索了长期生产率增长如何影响失业率和工作期限等。在整个项目中，我强调了对模型特征的理论检验，以及基于数值模拟对模型的定量探索，并将其与数据进行比较。我积极地在其他大学的国际会议和研讨会上提交了组成该项目的三篇论文(两篇论文原计划，另加一篇)。我根据在这些场合获得的反馈修改了三篇论文，并完成了它们。我目前的目标是将它们发表在同行评议的期刊上。

In this research project, I conducted macroeconomic analyses of the labor market by applying the search and matching theory and the dynamic contract theory. In particular, I used a model of long-term contracts which combine these two approaches, and explored how long-term productivity growth affects, for example, the unemployment rate and the job tenure. Throughout the project, I emphasized both the theoretical examinations of the model characteristics, as well as the quantitative exploration of the model, based on numerical simulations, and its comparison with the data. I actively presented the three papers (two papers originally planned, plus an additional one) that formed the project at international conferences and seminars at other universities. I revised the three papers based on feedbacks obtained at these occasions, and completed them. I am currently aiming to have them published in peer-reviewed journals.
