Abstract

This paper investigates whether a search theoretic model can explain the wage curve, that is, a negative relationship between regional wages and regional unemployment rates, even if the workers are mobile between regions. We show that a simple search model if combined with regional variations in productivity and with a monocentric city structure produces the wage curve.
