SUMMARY:Macro and labor market seminar - Marc Teignier
DTSTART:20251211T133000Z
DTEND:20251211T143000Z
DESCRIPTION:We present a model where labor supply decisions are made jointl
 y by imperfectly assortatively matched couples and firms\, which respond to
  the joint nature of these decisions. Parenthood requires one of the parent
 s to take time out of the labor force\, but a contracting friction imposes 
 a cost on firms when this occurs. Assortative mating rules out that identic
 al productivity types of both genders are being paid a unique wage without 
 discrimination. Gender-discriminatory equilibria exist in which firms condi
 tion wages on gender and productivity type. However\, there also exist 'wag
 e dispersion'-equilibria\, in which women and men face identical wage distr
 ibutions given productivity. Wage dispersion originates in the direct compe
 tition between the firm employing the man and the different firm employing 
 the woman in a couple. Across equilibria\, there always is wage inequality 
 conditional on productivity\, but it expresses itself along different dimen
 sions\, as gender discrimination or wage dispersion within both genders. Th
 e efficiency comparison across equilibria is nontrivial\, with a trade-off 
 between ex-ante coordination across firms hiring the different genders vs w
 ithin-household misallocation (e.g. a less productive husband remaining in 
 the market while a productive wife drops out).\\n\\nContact: Marco Fongoni
