A classical model of involuntary unemployment: efficiency wages and macroeconomic policy
Article Abstract:
An evaluation of an efficiency wage model that calls for a fully-fledged welfare analysis reveals that an employment subsidy is needed where employment is suboptimal and that a tightening of monetary policy is needed if the employment subsidy policy is also suboptimal. The resulting tightening on monetary policy has been found to result in distortions in intertemporal resources with the optimal long run budgetary policy subject to credibility problems.
