Wage Regimes, Accumulation and Finance Constraints: Keynesian Unemployment Revisited
This paper presents a sequential model suited to analyze transitions between equilibria. Disequilibrium dynamics are obtained from a standard monopolistic competition model, by introducing a sequential structure and reasonable hypotheses about technology, finance constraints, expectation formation, and the wage setting mechanism. The response to shocks crucially depends on the institutional fea...
متن کاملKeynesian, Old Keynesian, and New Keynesian Wage Nominalism
Wage nominalism has long been a puzzle for economists. The original Keynesian explanation related it to a coordination failure in the context of decentralized union bargaining, a problem now in a largely nonunion U. S. labor market. Moreover, Keynesianism assumed wage nominalism as the norm rather than explaining it. New Keynesian explanations, based on implicit contracts, menu costs, and other...

In economies where the price of labour is determined outside of competitive markets the question arises as to whether the observed evolution of wages is likely to contribute to a decline in unemployment. I develop and discuss a benchmark, the neutral wage policy, to which the actual evolution of wages can be compared. Here, neutrality refers to the unemployment rate and not to the level of empl...

Examination of cross-section data on non-contractual construction workers in Egypt reveals strong attachment to the sector despite extreme demand instability. Also present are statistically significant wage differentials between construction trades that cannot be attributed to differential costs of skill acquisition. These observations suggest that employers might be compensating their non-cont...
متن کاملWage Aspirations and Unemployment Persistence ∗
The reservation wage is an integral part of most theories of involuntary unemployment. We use panel data to examine the empirical determinants of the reservation wage in particular the inßuence of previous wages and consider what this implies for the evolution of the natural rate of unemployment. We Þnd that previous wages have a signiÞcant but relatively small effect on reservation wages (...
