Layoff Costs and Efficiency with Asymmetric Information

Wage determination under asymmetric information generates ine¢ ciencies due to excess turnover. Severance pay and layo¤ taxes can improve e¢ ciency. We show that inefficient separations can even be fully removed with …xed separation taxes in the case where therelevant private information is exponentially distributed.
