The article discusses how market imperfections and rigidities affect macroeconomics. It explores how factors like imperfect competition, price stickiness, and labor market dynamics impact the overall economy. The researchers use general equilibrium models to study these complex interactions. They find that market structures, costly price changes, and imperfect information can lead to macroeconomic rationing. Additionally, labor market dynamics such as trade unions, wage indexation, and efficiency wages play a crucial role in shaping economic outcomes.
