The assumption of constant returns in the matching function, embodied in most bilateral
search models, is crucial to ensure the uniqueness of the unemployment rate along
a steady-state growth path. This article explores the empirical viability of this
assumption by estimating individual reemployment probabilities on a sample of unemployment
entrants. I apply hazard models to survey data on both completed and uncompleted
unemployment durations. The hypothesis of constant returns to matching is not rejected,
on the basis of the evidence that the job-finding hazard depends only on local labor
market tightness and is independent of its size.

The recent rise in wage inequality is usually attributed to skill-biased technical
change (SBTC), associated with new computer technologies. We review the evidence
for this hypothesis, focusing on the implications of SBTC for overall wage inequality
and for changes in wage differentials between groups. A key problem for the SBTC
hypothesis is that wage inequality stabilized in the 1990s despite continuing advances
in computer technology; SBTC also fails to explain the evolution of other dimensions
of wage inequality, including the gender and racial wage gaps and the age gradient
in the return to education.

Using the TAXSIM model for the period 1962-95, we consider the federal tax system's
impact as an automatic stabilizer. Despite the many changes in the tax system, there
has been relatively little change in its role as an automatic stabilizer. We estimate
that individual federal taxes offset perhaps as much as 8 percent of initial shocks
to GDP. We also suggest that the progressive income tax may help to stabilize output
via its effect on the supply of labor, an additional effect that may even be of similar
magnitude to the more traditional path of stabilization through aggregate demand.

Рассматривается предложение труда добровольцев: кто чаще всего становится добровольцем,
их
социально-демографические характеристики.
Анализируется проблема взаимозаменяемости добровольной
работы и благотворительных подаяний (предварительно сформулирована гипотеза о взаимозаменяемости
этих двух явлений, проведена их формализация в терминах полезности, размера подаяний,
количества
товаров и свободного времени).
