Abstract
The model we have built takes into consideration the particular features of labor markets in transitional economies. It considers the differences between a state sector and a private sector where employment decisions are made differently. In the former sector employment and wages are the outcome of a bargaining process between owners and workers, whereas in the latter sector competitive cum minimum wage laws set a limit on employment. A simulation allows us to evaluate the impact of various labor market institutions (minimum wages, unemployment benefits and workers’ bargaining power), not only on economic efficiency but also on “equity”.
