Competition for Jobs in a Growing Economy and the Emergence of Dualism
用匹配模型解释欧洲短期就业占比上升的原因，发现劳动生产率增长放缓会催生临时工作并提高其占比，人口增长也有类似效应，而解雇成本在无工资下限时影响中性。
The objective of the article is to explain the rising share of short‐term employment in Europe. In a matching model, it is shown that a slowdown in the growth of labour productivity leads to the emergence of temporary (short‐term) jobs and increases their share of total employment. Higher population growth also increases the share of temporary jobs. Finally, the much blamed firing costs are found to be neutral when there is no floor on wages. In addition, in periods of low growth, the rise in the share of short‐term jobs weakens workers' bargaining position.
