We use tabulations on earnings, employment and weeks worked by detailed occupation from the 1911 1941 Canadian Censuses to generate a complete depiction of movements in Canada’s wage structure in this period. Previous research has had to rely on examinations of a restricted set of skilled/unskilled wage differentials. We find that the wage structure became much more equal in the WWI decade but ...

Wage and income surveys covering the period 1989-1999 are used to display changes in inequality of earnings and main factors of disparities. In the first part, increasing differences in the Czech Republic and the decreasing weight of demographic characteristics in wage structure are observed.

Developing a three-sector and four-factor general equilibrium model, this paper offers an explanation of wage inequality in a vertically fragmented production structure typical of off-shore outsourcing to developing countries like China or India. The model characterizes a typical developing economy where intermediate good is produced using capital and local low-skilled worker, traditional secto...

This paper reviews recent work on macroeconomic management with varying wage/pricebargaining organizational structures and degrees of credible commitment to monetary conservatism. The emerging literature synthesizes and extends theory and empirics on central bank independence (CBI) and coordinated wage/price bargaining (CWB), arguing that the degrees of CBI and CWB interact, with each other and...

Understanding Urban Wage Inequality in China 1988-2008: Evidence from Quantile Analysis This paper examines change in wage gaps in urban China by estimating quantile regressions on CHIPS data. It applies the Machado and Mata (2005) decomposition, finding sharp increases in inequality from 1988 to 1995 and from 2002 to 2008 largely due to changes in the wage structure. The analysis reports how t...
