We specifv and estimate an equilibrium job search model with pro” ductivitv differences across labor market segments. The model allows for two types of unemployment: frictional unemployment due to search frictions and structural unemployment due to wage floors. Wage floors exist because of high unemplovment benefits or binding minimum wages. The . productivitv distribution is estimated semi-non...

I examine worker effort as a potential margin of adjustment to minimum wage hike using unique data on piece rate workers who perform homogenous task and whose individual output is rigorously recorded. By employing difference-in-differences strategy that exploits the increase in Florida’s from $6.79 $7.21 January 1, 2009, location pre-2009 productivity distribution, provide evidence consistent w...

Consider first the problem of an individual infinitely lived consumer indexed by i who has some predetermined set of expectations for how the aggregate net interest rate rt and wage rate Wt will evolve. At date t household i owns some capital kt,i, and can in principle also borrow; designate the net debt of household i in period t as dt,i; since we will be examining a perfect foresight solution...

Globalization may have different impacts on the gender wage gap depending on the specialization and trade pattern as well as the socio-economic situation. The main purpose of this paper is to examine an impact of globalization on gender wage inequality. Specifically, the hypothesis is that globalization reduces gender wage gap.

The analysis reveals that there are cohort effects not only in the level of earnings, with more recent cohorts generally having relatively lower entry wages, but also in the rate of growth of earnings, with more recent cohorts having a smaller rate of economi...

Using quarterly macro data and annual state panel data, we examine various explanations of the low rate of price inflation, strong real wage growth, and low rate of unemployment in the U.S. economy during the late 1990s. Many of these explanations imply shifts in the coefficients of price and wage Phillips curves. We find, however, that once one accounts for the univariate trends in the unemplo...

We propose a flexible decision support scheme which could be used in managing the wage negotiation between employers and employees. This scheme uses fuzzy inference systems and game theory concepts in arriving at decisions on future wage increase which could be more mutually agreeable. For example, rather than specifying 5% yearly increase of wages, we propose that the uncertain factors which a...
