GROWTH, UNEMPLOYMENT AND THE WAGE SETTING PROCESS.

Now, w_t > w_t^c implies, using ( 39):

^γt(¹^-^τt-i)wt-i + (1 ^-^γt)^st ∕₁ 1- α ∖1-α rSt-1 iα

If γt = 1 inequality 40 becomes:

w_tc <

(1 - Tt-i)wt-i _ _w(¹^-^α)(¹^-^τt)

If 0 ≤ γt < 1 solving 40 for st we obtain:

Note from (41) and ( 43) that w_t ≥ 0.

Proof of Theorem 4. 1 First we compute the best reply junction oj the union

when τt — 1 - βt. Using the proof of proposition 3.1.1 we obtain: If w_t^c <
w” _— ^Y^t⁽ⁱ^-^T^t-1⁾w^t-1 then _w. _— ^Y^t⁽ⁱ^-^T^t^-1⁾w^t^-1⁺⁽ⁱ^-^Y^t^)s^t > wc IJ wc ≥ w”

^w t ^— (i_-α)β_t then ^wt ^— (i_-α)β_t > ^wt . I^{j w}t ≥ ^w t

and γ_t — 1 then w_t — w_t^c. If w_t^c ≥ w”_t and 0 ≤ γ_t < 1 then there ex-
ists s”_t — (ⁱ^α)^β^tw^t (_i-Yi) ^τ^t-1)w^t-1 ≥ 0 such that if s_t > s”_t then w_t —
^Y^t⁽ⁱ^τt~(i-α^-)β+(ⁱ^Y^t)s^t > wc and if s_t ≤ s” _t then w_t — wtc. We denote this
best reply function of the union as w_t(w_t_-i, τ_t_-i, 1 — βt, s_t, γ_t).

Now we compute the best reply function of the union when τt — 0. Using the
proof of proposition 3.1.1 we obtain: If wC < wt — ^Y^t⁽ⁱ (i' /.)w' ¹ then w_t —
^γt(ɪ__^τt^-1)^wt^{-1 + (}ɪ__^γt)^st /∕^,c Jf /∕^,c '> 7∕/ nr∣d ^,y, — 1 then cιn — cn^c Jf cn^{c γ} tιd

(i α) > ɛwt. Jj ^wt ≥ 'w^!t ann∣ tt — ɪ t∣ven `wt — 'w^!t. Jj 'w^!t ≥ 'wⁱt

and 0 ≤ γ_t < 1 then there exists st — ⁽ⁱ^α)w^t^γt^t⁽ⁱ^τ^t-1)w^t-1 ≥ 0 such that if
γt t (i-γt)

s_t > st then w_t — ^Y^t⁽ⁱ^τ^t-1)W-^-,¹)⁺(ⁱ^Y^t)s^t > wt and if s_t ≤ s'_t then w_t — wf. We

denote this best reply function of the union as w_t(w_t_-i,τ_t_-i, 0, s_t,γ_t).

Functions wt(wt-i,τt-i, 1 — βt, st,γt) and wt(wt-i,τt-i, 0, st, γt) when γt —

1 and wc < wt, wt ≤ wc < w” _t and w” _t ≤ wc are represented in figures 1.a, 1.b
and 1.c respectively. Functions w_t(w_t_-i, τ_t_-i, 1—β_t, s_t, γ_t) and w_t(w_t_-i, τ_t_-i, 0, s_t, γ_t)
when 0 ≤ γ_t < 1 and wc < wt, wt ≤ wc < w” t and w” _t ≤ wc are represented
in figures 2.a, 2.b and 2.c respectively. On the other hand, we can also repre-
sent function s_t in all figures. Looking at figure 1.a it is obvious that there is a
unique equlibrium with unemployment. Looking at figure 1.b there is an equilib-
rium with unemployment and an equilibrium with full employment. Looking at
