摘要:

This paper examines the empirical content of the neoclassical theory of the firm. The main models (perfect competition, monopolistic competition, pure monopoly) are specified in terms of observable anomalies. These models are then tested against data and against each other. The findings pave the way for an appraisal of the empirical status of the perfectly competitive model, relative to the data and relative to the other neoclassical models.

摘要:

In this paper a model is developed from which the supply curve, of a stochastically produced good, can be estimated when the observations are constrained by a quota. It is shown that, for any (price, quantity) combination observed in the presence of a quota, we can simulate a corresponding (price, quantity) combination which could have been observed in the absence of a quota. This procedure is then employed to construct “free‐market” observations on Brazil's supply of sugar, with which the supply curve is then estimated, and production in the absence of sugar quotas inf

摘要:

This paper argues that the relevant test of wage screening effects should be based on educational certificates rather than years of schooling. This is because information conveyed to firms about individual productivity through years of schooling is not sufficiently refined for making individual wage offer decisions. Although it may be useful for making hiring decisions.

摘要:

This study examines the effects of publication, geographic preferences, and institutional preferences on the mobility of academic economists during the period 1955‐69. Using a sample of 3813 economists who published at least one article during this period, the analysis indicates that publications do promote upward mobility but to a limited extent. The number of publications rather than their quality promotes mobility, but movement occurs primarily within well‐defined geographic regions. The market for academic economists appears to be strongly segmented along geographic lines. Moves within geographic regions tend to be to departments of equal or lesser prestige than the department from which the individual has mo

摘要:

The theoretical results derived from models of economic search have implications which relate to the structure and performance of labor markets. Utilizing a series of laboratory experiments, we attempt to capture many of the features of workers' search and also the conditions under which labor markets operate. By varying certain of the experimental conditions, we are able to determine the searchers' responses to changes in the terms of unemployment insurance, to the existence of a minimum wage, and to different states of information about the underlying distribution of wages. In most cases the behavior of the searchers is consistent with that predicted by theory.

摘要:

The purpose of this paper is to present a microeconomic model of pricing behavior that is consistent with macroeconomic theory and evidence. The essential ingredient in the model is the hypothesis that imperfect information implies that firms face kinked demand curves. I provide a detailed analysis of this hypothesis and develop its empirical implications. The model provides a microeconomic rationale for the price stickiness assumed in disequilibrium macroeconomic models.
