This thesis consists of three chapters that examine different aspects of frictional labor markets in a DSGE framework. In particular, my thesis investigates the implications of different wage bargaining regimes, labor adjustment costs, and endogenous on-the-job search. The third chapter represents my contribution to a joint project with Agostino Consolo from the European Central Bank.
