Abstract

A model is presented where identical firms announce vacancies and wages and workers apply to the firm. Workers are of two types, b and g, but identical in productivity. Firms do not prefer a particular type of worker over another; however, a common belief among all workers is that type b workers are discriminated against. This causes type b workers to avoid applying for jobs that offer wages perceived to be too high. In equilibrium some firms announce high wages thereby attracting only type g workers, while others announce low wages thereby attracting only type b workers.
如果你相信歧视存在,它就会存在
提出了一个相同企业公布职位空缺和工资的模型,并提出了工人申请。工人分为b和g两类,但生产率相同。公司不会偏爱某种特定类型的工人;然而,所有工人普遍认为b类工人受到歧视。这导致b类工人避免申请工资过高的工作。在均衡中,一些公司宣布高工资,从而只吸引了g类工人,而另一些公司宣布低工资,从而只吸引了b类工人。
