This is done by augmenting a relatively standard real business cycle model with unobservable workers effort by employers and efficiency wage contracts, as well as through the inclusion of a detailed government sector. This imperfection in labor markets introduces a strong internal transmission mechanism that allows the model framework to capture the business cycles in Bulgarian data better than earlier models, and setups assuming perfectly-competitive labor markets in particular.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={A Real-Business-Cycle Model with Efficiency Wages and a Government Sector: The Case of Bulgaria}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/106529/PDF/mainFile.pdf}, doi={10.24425/cejeme.2017.122215}, keywords={general equilibrium, shirking, efficiency wages, unemployment, Bulgaria}, }
