- 요약This dissertation explores three questions in macroeconomics: two pertaining to labor macroeconomics and one concerning monetary economics.The first chapter, Labor Market Recoveries Across the Wealth Distribution, studies why, even after accounting for standard characteristics, low-wealth workers experience larger falls and slower recoveries in earnings than high-wealth workers do after the onset of recessions. I show that differences in job-switching and job-losing rates are important in explaining these dynamics. To do so, I build a quantitative search and matching model with incomplete markets, on-the-job search, and in which workers who switch jobs experience an increase in the risk of subsequent job-loss, a fact I document empirically. Wages are determined by a generalized alternating offer bargaining protocol that accommodates risk-aversion and wealth accumulation. Using this model, I conclude that cyclical differences in job-switching and job-losing by wealth, which the model can endogenously reproduce, explain 40 percent of the gap in the earnings recovery between lowand high-wealth workers following the Great Recession. I apply the model to study the post-Pandemic behavior of job-switching and show that fiscal stimulus alleviated its fall and sustained its recovery.The second chapter, Optimal Monetary Policy with Menu Costs is Nominal Wage Targeting, is co-authored with Basil Halperin. Here, we show analytically that ensuring stable nominal wage growth is optimal monetary policy in a multisector economy with menu costs. This nominal wage targeting contrasts with inflation targeting, the optimal policy prescribed by the textbook New Keynesian model in which firms are permitted to adjust their prices only randomly and exogenously. The key intuition is that stabilizing nominal wages minimizes the number of firms which need to adjust their prices, and therefore minimizes resources wasted on menu costs. The model captures a broad conception of the fixed costs of price adjustment - whether they be physical, informational, or behavioral menu costs - which the literature has found to be large. We also use our results to shed new light on the standard model, highlighting the underappreciated critical role of convexity (or not) in the welfare costs of price adjustment. Finally, we show that the analytical superiority of nominal wage targeting carries over in a sophisticated computational model.The third chapter, On the Decline in Worker Mobility: Learning in School Versus on the Job, is co-authored with Aniket Baksy. In this paper we ask why has worker mobility in the United States declined so much over the past decades? While previous work attributes this decline to reduced labor market dynamism, this paper reveals that a large part of this trend is due to increased educational attainment among workers. Higher education affects labor mobility in two ways. First, having a larger share of young workers in school rather than in the labor market precludes these very workers, who are typically most mobile, from switching jobs and occupations. Second, education provides workers an alternative to learning about their "type" making educated workers less reliant on experimenting with new jobs.
