Search Model of Unemployment
• Unemployed workers receive job offers to work at a particular wage.
• When an unemployed worker receives a job offer, he she has to decide whether to accept it or to reject it and continue searching for work.
• Assume that workers are separated from their jobs at a constant rate.
• Want to analyze the determinants of the reservation wage – the lowest wage offer that an unemployed worker is willing to accept.

The Reservation Wage
• Increases when the unemployment insurance benefit b increases.
• Increases if wage income is taxed at a higher rate.

Determining the Long-Run Unemployment Rate
The unemployment rate increases when the reservation wage increases, the separation rate increases, or the rate at which unemployed workers receive job offers falls.

The Efficiency Wage Model
• Worker effort tends to increase with the real wage rate that they worker receives.
• This occurs because of adverse selection and moral hazard.
• This can produce a kind of stickiness in the real wage.
