摘要

摘要本文分析了搜索成本如何影响技术-非技术工资的不平等。在基本模型中，我们发现，如果技术劳动力市场和非技术劳动力市场分开，技术劳动力搜索成本的增加将减少工资不平等。在扩展模型中，我们的发现如下：（i）即使存在自由进入非技术劳动力市场或内生提供公共产品的情况，技术劳动力市场搜索成本的增加也会减少工资不平等；以及（ii）如果技术搜索成本与技术工资呈负相关，则工资不平等将加剧。

Search Costs and Wage Inequality

Abstract This paper analyzes how search costs affect skilled-unskilled wage inequality. In the basic model, we find that an increase in skilled labor’s search costs will decrease wage inequality if the skilled labor market and the unskilled labor market are separated. In the extended model, our findings are as follows: (i) Even if there exists free entry into the unskilled labor market or the endogenous provision of public goods, an increase of search costs in the skilled labor market will decrease wage inequality; and (ii) if skilled search costs are negatively related to the skilled wage, wage inequality will be increased.

期刊介绍： We welcome submissions in all areas of economic theory, both applied theory and \"pure\" theory. Contributions can be either innovations in economic theory or rigorous new applications of existing theory. Pure theory papers include, but are by no means limited to, those in behavioral economics and decision theory, game theory, general equilibrium theory, and the theory of economic mechanisms. Applications could encompass, but are by no means limited to, contract theory, public finance, financial economics, industrial organization, law and economics, and labor economics.
