Abstract
The model of labour demand in terms of hours worked by employees assumes that firms instantly adjust their employment when the economic environment or business cycle changes. A firm looking to change the size of its work force will always find that it is costly to make spontaneous changes to its labour force. A firm firing a large proportion of its workers, for example, will in most cases suffer some costs when the experience and knowledge of these workers disappear from the work environment. Differently, a firm wishing to expand employment or increase hourly working hours (this maybe due to a rise in output price) will find that hiring additional workers might be equally costly: the firm will have to process the job applicants through the personnel office and train new workers.
