Real Wage Cyclicality in Italy
Real Wage Cyclicality in Italy This paper analyzes the cyclical behaviour of male real wages in Italy using the European Community Household Panel 1994-2001. We distinguish between job stayers (remaining in the same job), and withinand between-company job movers. Stayers are the large majority. We find stayers in Northern Italy to have high cyclicality of real wages, higher in fact than the US ...
متن کاملHeterogeneity in Real Wage Cyclicality
Heterogeneity in Real Wage Cyclicality This paper presents evidence that real wage cyclicality can be a particularly heterogeneous parameter, depending on different worker characteristics and also on the specific stage of the business cycle. Using matched employer-employee panel data for Portugal covering the period 1986-2004, real wages are shown to be considerably more procyclical during rece...
متن کاملNominal and real wage rigidity: Does nationality matter?
We assess the differences in downward nominal and real wage rigidity between natives and immigrants in Portugal, using a matched employer-employee database and the International Wage Flexibility Project (IWFP) methodology. This methodology estimates a notional or counterfactual distribution that would prevail under wage flexibility and compares it to the empirical wage distribution. The estimat...
متن کاملNominal Wage Rigidity in the United Kingdom
This paper studies the degree of downward rigidity in nominal wages in the United Kingdom using micro-data. Around 9% of employees who remain in the same job from one year to the next have zero pay growth. But on investigating the causes of rigidity we ®nd that up to ninetenths can be attributed to `symmetric' causes (such as contracts and menu costs) or to error. Thus only 1% of workers have p...
متن کاملNominal Wage Rigidity as a Nash Equilibrium
I would like to thank the FCAR and the SSHRC for generous financial support, and André Kurmann, Louis Phaneuf, and seminar participants at the Université du Québec à Montréal for helpful discussions. The usual caveats apply. Abstract : Models of the microfoundations of nominal price rigidities show that in the absence of real rigidities, individual firms have strong incentives to adjust prices ...
