The wage curve revisited: estimates from a UK panel
Panel data from the United Kingdom are used to estimate a wage curve that allows simultaneously for time, individual, and spatial effects and which thus finesses the problem of grouped data bias. Once allowance is made for the multilevel and crossclassified nature of the data, estimates of the unemployment elasticity of the wage are seen to be volatile and imprecise. JEL Classification: J30
متن کاملIssn 1466-0814 the Uk Wage Curve: New Evidence from the British Household Panel Survey
This paper investigates the UK wage curve using longitudinal micro data drawn from the first eight waves of the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS). We estimate a fixed-effects model that controls for observed and unobserved individual-specific heterogeneity. Our results suggest that there is evidence of a negative relationship in wage-unemployment space. The estimated unemployment elasticity...
متن کاملThe Uk Wage Curve: New Evidence from the British Household Panel Survey
This paper assesses the existence of a UK ‘wage curve’ to explore the role of regional unemployment in the determination of individual pay. Recent empirical research adheres to the existence of a new empirical law of economics, a stable inverse non-linear relationship between individual pay and the local unemployment rate. Critiques of this research emphasise issues concerning choice of econome...
متن کاملNew evidence on the Korean wage curve
An exhaustive empirical and theoretical study conducted by Blanchflower and Oswald (1994) found a new empirical regularity of the negative relationship between wages and regional unemployment, that is, the ‘wage curve.’ The curve is roughly described by – 0.1 of the elasticity of wages with respect to the local unemployment rate with human capital characteristics of individual workers controlle...
متن کاملThe Wage Curve and the Phillips Curve
Blanchflower and Oswald (1994) have argued that, in regional data, the level of unemployment is related to the fevel of wages. This result is at variance with an application of the original Phillips curve to regional data, which would predict that the change in wages ought to be related to the unemployment rate. On the other hand, there is considerable empirical support for the expectations-aug...
