摘要
This paper extends the standard matching model by adding match-specific costs, which can only be partially protected from hold-up because of workers' bargaining power. We show that a decrease in equilibrium unemployment might improve welfare for realistic values of workers' bargaining power. (c) 2005 Published by Elsevier B.V.
