[economics] Two-sided model of unemployment question :)

Unemployment Two-sided model:
(c): In two-sided model, when a worker and firm are matched, what determines the wage paid to
the worker?
Reference notes:
Tow-sideed search model of Unemployment:
• Let Q be interpreted as labor force, and MQ as those working age people not in the labor force.
• Let P (Q) define a supply curve for workers who choose to search for market work. Thus, P. (Q) represents the expected payoff
to searching for market work that would induce Q consumers to search.

•If the expected payoff from searching is higher this induces more consumers to forego home production to search for market work.
*Let A denote the number of active firms, which is the number that choose to post vacancies.
• Letk denotes the cost of firms for recruiting workers.
Equilibrium
•The worker will receive a surplus of w- b. the firm's surplus is z- un which is the profit the farm makes. Then, if we add the
worker's surplus and the firm's surplus, we obtain total surplus, which is z - b.
