The fundamental surplus strikes again

    Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

    Abstract

    The fundamental surplus isolates parameters that determine how sensitively unemployment responds to productivity shocks in the matching models of Christiano et al. (2016 and this issue) under either Nash bargaining or alternating-offer bargaining. Those models thus join a collection of models in which diverse forces are intermediated through the fundamental surplus.
