Question
Question 1. COVID-19, Jobkeeper and Unemployment in the Pandemic. Consider the following matching
model of the labour market:
Please note that u and v are expressed in number, not in percentage.
м-Ми(1 —е-0)
(1) Matching Function
S=(1 – u) s
(2) Separation Function
S = M
(3) Steady State Equilibrium
0= 0.5 +0.01y – c -r- - s + M
(4)
Equilibrium Market Tightness
In the above equations, e= 2.7183, notation is as in the lecture notes, and in addition, the matching efficiency, the
separation rate, the worker's bargaining power and the income per worker depends on the spread of covid-19 (which
is denoted by covid) and the government policies aimed to support jobs (which is denoted by jobkeeper):
M
= 0.8 – 0.25 covid,
= 0.025 + 0.125 covid – 0.5 jobkeeper,
= 0.5,

y
100 - 10 covid.
