1 Modelling nemploymen rae in he Czech Repblic ONDŘEJ ČÍŽEK Deparmen of Economeric Univeriy of Economic in Prage W. Chrchill Sq Prage CZECH REPUBLIC cizeko@ve.cz Abrac: Weak aggregae op demand and high nemploymen are boh baic feare of he economy in he Czech Repblic hee day. For hi reaon he model formlaed in hi paper i baed on he following raniion mechanim: High nemploymen lead o low conmpion demand. Prodcion i alo low a no one can afford o by he good which ain high nemploymen. The paper conribe o he exiing lierare by incorporaing hi Keyneian principle of weak aggregae demand ino he baic Diamond- Morenen-Piaride (DMP) model in a imple and novel way. Depie i impliciy he propoed model capre he eence of he crren economic crii. The parameer of he model are economerically eimaed. The eimaed model rn o o have mliple eqilibria which i inerpreed from an economic poin of view. Key-Word: nonlinear modelling nemploymen vacancie mliple eqilibria. Inrodcion The nemploymen rae in he Czech Repblic ha been wiching beween lower and a higher level in pa wo decade which i illraed in figre. Tradiional view i ha hee flcaion repreen cyclical movemen. In hi paper I explore a qeion wheher or no hi dynamic cold be modelled by an alernaive approach a raniion from a lower o a higher eqilibrim nemploymen rae nemploymen rae ime Fig. : Unemploymen rae in he Czech Repblic. To hi end a nonlinear model of labor marke in he Czech Repblic i formlaed in hi paper. Nonlineariy arie by making a probabiliy of finding a job endogeno. Thi probabiliy i modelled a a fncion decreaing in nemploymen. I will be hown ha hi feedback mechanim cae he mlipliciy of eqilibrim nemploymen rae. The iniion behind hi rel i ha here i low demand for labor in ime of high nemploymen. Therefore i i hard o find a job which ain nemploymen a high level. Thi formlaion principle i ppored by he Nobel Prize winner in economic Joeph Sigliz [] who ae ha Erope problem oday i a lack of aggregae demand. Thi aricle conribe o he exiing lierare by incorporaing he Keyneian principle of weak aggregae demand ino he baic Diamond-Morenen-Piaride (DMP) model of he labor marke. The DMP model i bil pon heoreical fondaion laid down by he Nobel Prize winner in economic Diamond [] Morenen [6] and Piaride [7]. The idea ha ineracion beween nemploymen and aggregae demand for op migh cae a mlipliciy of eqilibrim i no new in he lierare. The mo famo model wa formlaed by Diamond [] in which a mlipliciy of eqilibrim i indced by he ampion of increaing rern in maching rading parner. The rcre of hi model i qie differen from he rcre of he model formlaed in hi paper. Depie hi fac mliple eqilibrim poin exi in boh model de o he link beween nemploymen and aggregae op demand. For hi reaon Thi work i mmarized by Piaride [8]. E-ISSN: Volme 06

2 a comparion of hee wo model will be briefly decribed a well. In anoher example Kaplan Menzio [5] ed he DMP modelling framework o how ha he feedback beween employmen and prodc marke migh generae mliple eqilibria. The rcre of he paper i a follow. Fir of all he model i formlaed in chaper. In he nex chaper i i compared wih he very well known Diamond [] model. Economeric eimaion i decribed in chaper 4. Afer ha he eimaed model i analyed in chaper 5 epecially from a poin of view of mlipliciy of eqilibria. In paragraph 6 economic coneqence are diced and he final chaper 7 conclde.. Model. Unemploymen Dynamic Unemploymen i modelled in a conino ime.

The mearemen of raniion rae f i alo baed on Shimer [] mehodology. According o hi evidence here are banial flcaion in job finding probabiliy dring bine cycle freqencie while eparaion probabiliy i nearly acyclic. Thi gge ha in order o nderand flcaion in nemploymen one m nderand he flcaion in job-finding probabiliy. The formlaion of he model preened in hi paper i baed pon hi rel. The emphai will herefore be given o he model of job-finding probabiliy.. Maching Fncion Sandard Cobb-Dogla maching fncion i ed o decribe he formaion of new relaionhip (mache) from he nmber of nemployed worker U and (nfilled) job vacancie V Kaplan Menzio [5] alo briefly dic lierare on mliple eqilibria in he DMP modelling framework and mmarize vario facor ha may lead o he exience of mliple eqilibria. α ( ) α M M V U = AU V () where 0 α 0. The ampion of conan rern o cale i in line wih mo empirical work (ee rvey performed by Piaride Perongolo [9]). Inerpreaion of hi ampion i ha he effecivene of he maching proce doe no depend on he ize of he labor marke. I will alo be amed ha all nemployed worker U have an eqal ampling probabiliy. The job-finding probabiliy F i hen given by M F = = A α () U V where denoe he marke ighne. U The correponding job finding rae i A > ( ) ( F ) f = ln.

The DMP model i cloed by a free enry ampion. Under hi condiion vacancie are creaed a a flow co of C per period nil hey yield a zero profi. Thi can be decribed by he following condiion F C = Q J.

The baic idea i a follow: Once a repreenaive worker find a job hey prodce y of a ingle homogeno good each period for which hey are paid a wage w. The company profi in a given period i herefore y w. Prodcion i ppoed o la in fre period nil he job i deroyed which i modelled by a job dercion rae. Fre profi are diconed by inere rae r. The applicaion of he ae pricing heory in hi baic ep lead o J = y w. (8) + r Thi eqaion capre he baic idea for modelling job vacancie in he DMP framework. I claim ha he vale of a job i higher (and h firm po more vacancie) when he marginal prodc of labor i high relaive o he wage. The marginal prodc of labor nonehele depend on nemploymen U and he wage depend on nemploymen U a well a vacancie V. For laer comparion wih my own model I will briefly mmarize he effec of nemploymen on he nmber of vacancie poed by firm in he DMP model. The dependence of he wage and marginal prodc of labor on nemploymen U and on vacancie V will become apparen. Firly a high nemploymen U (compared o he nmber of vacancie V ) end o decreae wage w becae worker are in a weaker bargaining poiion. Lower wage mean higher profi and he increaed vale of a job J which encorage firm o creae more vacancie V. Secondly an increae in he nmber of nemployed worker i ppoed o lead o higher marginal labor prodciviy becae of he diminihing rern in prodcion. A a coneqence profi from employing addiional worker are increaed which lead o more vacancie poed by he firm. Finally an increae in nemploymen lead o he higher availabiliy of labor. For hi reaon firm have a higher probabiliy of filling a vacancy Q. Therefore here i alo a higher expeced profi For noaional impliciy he ime bcrip will be omied for a momen. from poing a vacancy Q J. The rel again i more vacancie V poed by he firm. For convenience hee ranmiion mechanim can be mmarized a follow: nemploymen (compared o vacancie) marke ighne wage firm' profi vale of a job vacancie (9) nemploymen marginal labor prodciviy (0) firm' profi vale of a job vacancie nemploymen availabiliy of labor probabiliy of filling a vacancy vacancie () Thee ranmiion mechanim decribe he opimal behavior of firm a well a worker which i derived from microeconomic opimizaion in he DMP framework. In a diagrammaic analyi hi opimal behavior i raced by he vacancy pply (VS) crve. In an nemploymen-vacancie plane hi crve lope pward becae he rie in nemploymen lead o more vacancie. VS crve i an analogy o he radiional labor demand crve..4 Job creaion in he preened model The baic DMP framework mmarized in he previo bchaper will be modified in hi paper by inrodcing he Keyneian principle of weak op demand. The vale of a job J i no evalaed on he bai of he crren and expeced fre prodcion y a in relaion (8). The crren and expeced firm fre profi will inead be deermined by he crren and expeced fre ale. Thi modelling prempion i baed on he fac ha in realiy firm ypically do no have problem prodcing op. The problem i o find comer who will by he prodc which applie pariclarly in ime of economic crii.

For impliciy I ame ha y w and r from he eqaion () are conan over ime. The ampion of a conan y reflec he Keyneian view ha he pply-ide of an economy doe no play a crcial role in explaining he crren economic crii. Similarly he eparaion rae doe no play an imporan role in explaining he rie in nemploymen in he Czech Repblic dring he crren economic crii (Shimer [8]). The inere rae r ha been low and able ince he beginning of he crii. For hee reaon he eparaion rae and he inere rae are boh regarded a conan. There are wo baic modelling ie in he DMP framework. The fir i how worker and firm come ogeher and he econd i how hey deermine wage. I hold be reed here ha he ie of deermining a wage will no be modelled in hi paper. I make an ampion of conan wage which i definiely an imporan implificaion. Nonehele i can be jified from an empirical a well a heoreical poin of view.
