In this paper, I construct an equilibrium for markets with frictions, which is competitive in the sense that all agents are price takers and maximize utility subject to a set of market parameters. I show that the equilibrium allocation is socially optimal. I also show how the competitive search equilibrium can be achieved if employers with vacancies can advertise publicly the wages they pay.
