We document substantial cross-sectional heterogeneity of German establishments’ real wage cyclicality over the business … wages. We estimate a negative connection between establishments’ wage cyclicality and their employment cyclicality, thereby …

. Using matched employer-employee dataset, I adopted the estimation strategy proposed by Guiso et al. (2005) to evaluate wage … Portuguese datasets. I found that firms do insure workers against product market uncertainties, but the magnitude of the wage … response differs depending on the nature of the shock. Broadly speaking, the wage response to permanent shocks is twice as high …

In order to explain the joint fluctuations of output, inflation and the labor market, this paper first develops a general equilibrium model that integrates a theory of equilibrium unemployment into a monetary model with nominal price rigidities. Then, it estimates a set of structural parameters...

In this paper we present an extension of the Taylor model with staggered wages in which wage-setting is also influenced … inflation and the extent of real wage rigidity but that these effects depend on the definition of reference norms (e.g. how … wages in Austria from 1980 to 2006 we show that wage-setting is strongly influenced by reference norms, that the wages of …

We estimate Okun's law, the negative relationship between output and the unemployment rate, at the sector level for the US, the UK, Japan, and Switzerland to test several hypotheses that may explain why the aggregate Okun's coeffcients are different across countries. Specifically, we show that...

This paper uses cross-country micro-aggregated data on firm dynamics and productivity from the ECB CompNet database to provide empirical evidence on factor reallocation in the European Union (EU). The analysis finds that reallocation is towards more productive firms although the magnitude varies...

Despite its stability over time, as for any statistical relationship, Okun's law is subject to deviations that can be large at times. In this paper, we provide a mapping between residuals in Okun's regressions and structural shocks identified with a SVAR model by inspecting how unemployment...
