sākt mācīties
Non-accelerating inflation rate of unemployment
Types of disequilibrium unemployment:
sākt mācīties
classical (neoclassical), cyclical (Keynesian)
Frictional (search) unemployment occurs when people
sākt mācīties
leave their jobs and are unemployed for a period of time while they are looking for a new job

heterogenous means
sākt mācīties
diverse in character or content
Job offers are heterogenous in terms of
sākt mācīties
wage levels and skill requirements by employers
Job seekers are heterogenous in terms of
sākt mācīties
skills possessed and wage aspirations- reservation wages
What is a reservation wage
sākt mācīties
the lowest wage rate at which a worker would be willing to accept a particular type of job
Frictional unemployment can be reduced if
sākt mācīties
the duration of matching is reduced
The job sample is
sākt mācīties
the number of job offers considered by a job seeker
The higher the wage aspirations,
sākt mācīties
the higher reservation wage
The model of the reservation wage explains the importance of
sākt mācīties
the reservation wage and the level of skills for job search
The model of the reservation wage explains how
sākt mācīties
the level of reservation wage and skills impact the chances to find jobs
The model of the reservation wage indicates
sākt mācīties
how the unemployed behave in the process of job search

Theory of marginal productivity
sākt mācīties
as more of variable factor of production is used in conjunction with a fixed factor of production- the output of each successive unit of the variable factor will diminish

compare different labour markets
stock indicators are based on
sākt mācīties
stock variables, for example: number of employed, unemployment rate
