Testing for superexogeneity of wage equations
نویسنده
چکیده
The superexogeneity of wage equations is tested in four major European countries. This is an important issue because while only weak exogeneity is needed for estimation purposes and for testing, and strong exogeneity for forecasting, superexogeneity is required for policy analysis. The procedure suggested by Engle and Hendry (1993) is adopted to carry out the empirical analysis. In all cases the conditional model is not affected by the first and second moments of the residuals from the marginal models. This invariance result implies that the estimated linear regression models are not subject to the Lucas critique over the period examined. Differences in wage determination between the various countries can be plausibly interpreted as resulting from the bargaining environment.

The question of the permissibility or impermissibility of receiving wage for the teaching of the Qur’ān has brought about some disagreements among Muslim scholars, where each group has relied on some q...
متن کاملTesting Price Equations
How inflation and unemployment are related in both the short run and long run is perhaps the key question in macroeconomics. This paper tests various price equations using quarterly U.S. data from 1952 to the present. Issues treated are the following. 1) Estimating price and wage equations in which wages affect prices and vice versa versus estimating “reduced form” price equations with no wage ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Local Labor Markets on College Enrollment
A number of authors have investigated whether aggregate and! or local labor market conditions affect college enrollment, hut the results across studies are very inconsistent. There are two shortcomings in the previous studies that may explain the weak correlation between labor market opportunities and college enrollment. First, we will use the unique structure of the HS & B to construct unemplo...
