Mortality and the Business Cycle : Evidence from Individual and Aggregated Data
van den Berg, Gerard J. - 2017
There has been much interest recently in the relationship between economic conditions and mortality, with some studies showing that mortality is pro-cyclical whereas others find the opposite. Some suggest that the aggregation level of analysis (e.g. individual vs. regional) matters. We use both...

Does Downward Nominal Wage Rigidity Dampen Wage Increases?
Stueber, Heiko - 2010
Focusing on the compression of wage cuts, many empirical studies find a high degree of downward nominal wage rigidity (DNWR). However, the resulting macroeconomic effects seem to be surprisingly weak. This contradiction can be explained within an intertemporal framework in which DNWR not only...

The Impact of Inflation Targeting on Inflation and Growth : How Robust is the Evidence?
Junankar, P. N. Raja - 2020
authors have used different estimation methods on different samples of data. Some of the differences in results may also be … due to the different time periods (or different frequencies of data) used in the estimation. In this paper, we provide … estimation methods on panel data on a large sample of countries. We note that the results depend critically on the sample …

Brunner, Beatrice - 2010
We estimate the effects of labor market entry conditions on wages for male individuals first entering the Austrian labor market between 1978 and 2000. We find a large negative effect of unfavorable entry conditions on starting wages as well as a sizeable negative long-run effect. Specifically,...

Productivity Growth and the Phillips Curve : A Reassessment of the US Experience
Karanassou, Marika - 2009
In this paper we analyse a new Phillips curve (NPC) model and demonstrate that (i) frictional growth, i.e. the interplay of wage-staggering and money growth, generates a nonvertical NPC in the long-run, and (ii) the Phillips curve (PC) shifts with productivity growth. On this basis we estimate a...

The Evolution of Inflation and Unemployment : Explaining the Roaring Nineties
Karanassou, Marika - 2007
This paper analyses the relation between US inflation and unemployment from the perspective of quot;frictional growth,quot; a phenomenon arising from the interplay between growth and frictions. In particular, we examine the interaction between money growth (on the one hand) and various real and...
