This is a serious shortcoming as a number of recent theoretical contributions point to major effects of UBs on job reallocation and labor pro- ductivity. We consider the dynamic relationship between product market entry regulation and equilibrium unemployment. Suppose we start in equilibrium with 10 people in an economy each earning 10% of total income. It has contributed to the better understanding of this phenomenon and constitutes a vital tool in labour market analysis. €I don't really buy the assumptions about rationality and markets that are embedded in many modern theoretical models, my own included, and I often turn to Old Keynesian ideas, but I see the usefulness of such models as a way to think through some issues carefully – an attitude that is actually widely shared Hicks argued that it was possible for the economy to be in an equilibrium (a word I'll be labouring in this post) in which there was involuntary unemployment.
