In recent years a large literature has developed that investigates the role of insurance in labor market contracting. Papers in this literature typically assume that workers are completely restricted from borrowing. We argue, and to some extent demonstrate, that in many environments capital market imperfections do not lead to a noborrowing result but rather to a capital market assumption that is intermediate between the no-borrowing assumption and the perfect capital market assumption. We then consider some of the ramifications that this intermediate capital market assumption has on the type of insurance the firms provide through the labor market contract.
