GROWTH, UNEMPLOYMENT AND THE WAGE SETTING PROCESS.



If 0 < u < 1 and γ

. In this case the two eigen values λi, λ2 are

that λ1 + λ2 = a + d > 0 and λ1 λ2 = ad bc > 0. These two inequalities imply
λ1 > 0 and λ2 > 0. Now if λ1 + λ2 = a + d < 1 then we have that 0 < λ1 < 1
and 0 < λ2 < 1 which implies convergence to the steady state if both are real.
Using 69 we obtain:

λ1 + λ2 =


2Y + [(1 - α)(1+ g) — γ]U
γ + α[(1 - α)(1 + g )- γ] u '

(71)


Using 71 we have that λ1 + λ2 < 1 if and only if:

γ< ∩~^2[(1 α)(1 + g) γ]1.                (72)

αu

If 0 < u < 1 and γ < (1 α) [(1 α)(1 + g) γ] then 72 holds. Last inequality
holds if and only if
γ < (1 α)2(1 + g). Finally we define

Y' = min( α(1-α5(α1+g) , (1 a)2(1 + g)).
