Profit share in Italy has been growing between the mid-1970s and the mid-1990s, remaining stable at historically high levels since than. After dropping in the first half of the 1070s, owing to an unprecedented rapid rise in wages, profit share started to recover. The rise during the 1980s...

This paper presents a theory of how factor income shares are determined in an environment with labor market frictions and heterogeneous firms. I assume neither a specific aggregate production function nor competitive factor markets. Instead, I first develop microfoundations for an aggregate...

In a Walrasian labor market, the labor income share is constant under the assumptions of a Cobb–Douglas production function and perfect competition. Given the observed decline of the labor share in recent decades, this paper relaxes these assumptions, proposes a time-series calculation of the...
