Abstract
This paper analyzes technology choices and unemployment in search equilibrium. In contrast to standard search models, the presence of technology choices makes the decentralized equilibrium inefficient; there is too little investment in skills, too little job creation and there can be multiple equilibria. The paper also shows that technological progress is likely to be slower in labor markets where job tenure is low.
