Abstract

Equilibrium search models require unobserved heterogeneity in productivityto fit observed wage distribution data, but provide no guidance about the location parameter of the heterogeneity. In this paper we show that the location of the productivity heterogeneity implies a mode in a kernel density estimate of the wage distribution.
