We develop a discrete-time search and matching model with a convex vacancy posting cost and three shocks: productivity, separation, and markup shocks. We use the model as a data-generating process for our empirical analysis and estimate it by using Bayesian methods. The model is successful in replicating the behavior of unemployment and vacancies in Japan. However, we also find that the success of the model relies on shock processes that are not empirically plausible.}, title = {An Estimated Search and Matching Model of the Japanese Labor Market}, year = {2014}, yomi = {ミヤモト, ヒロアキ} }
