We analyze the properties of the model, first, in the context of a typical real business cycle model driven by stochastic productivity shocks and second, in a fully specified monetary DSGE model with various real and nominal rigidities and multiple shocks. The model generates realistic statistics for the important labor market variables. KW - DSGE KW - search and matching KW - nominal wage rigidity KW - monetary policy ER -
