We assume that firms operate in an oligopsony labor market and allow for strategic interactions in wage setting. Firms face inelasti c labor supply curves and set an endogenous firm-specific markdown below m arginal product. We provide a tractable characterization of the equilibriu m and demonstrate existence and uniqueness. This characterization of the m odel equilibrium allows us to derive a rich set of comparative statics and then to gauge the relative contributions of worker skill\, preference for amenities and strategic interaction on equilibrium wage inequality. We es tablish identification of labor demand and supply structural parameters an d estimate them using matched employer-employee data on the population of Danish workers.\n DTSTART:20230505T193000Z DTEND:20230505T210000Z LOCATION:Room 429\, Leacock Building\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 2T7\, 855 r ue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Kory Kroft (University of Toronto)\, 'An Empirical Framework for Ma tching with Imperfect Competition' URL:/economics/channels/event/kory-kroft-university-to ronto-empirical-framework-matching-imperfect-competition-347725 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
