Imperfect goods and labor markets, regulation, and spillover effects

We assess the effects of three policies on aggregate variables, in particular real income, from a theoretical perspective.

In contrast, a policy that enhances product market competition is fostering real income, but also impacts strongly on union wages and the distribution of income.
