Abstract

This paper studies the impact of employment subsidies in a simple macroeconomic model with imperfect competition and unemployment due to wage rigidity. COmputed with a simple formula that is robust to the specification of imperfect competition and wage rigidity, subsidies can make an economy reach the Walrasian equilibrium. Moreover, theintroduction of employment subsidies can reduce unemployment without harming net real incomes, government budget or inflation.
