This paper reconsiders the West German wage curve using the employment statistics of the Federal Employment Services of Germany (Bundesanstalt für Arbeit) over the period 1980-2004. This updates the earlier study by Baltagi and Blien (1998) by 15 years for a more disaggregated 326 regions of...

"This paper examines the effects of regional wage differentials on the development of employment in eastern Germany. For this, a model concept is briefly developed which is aimed at different market constellations of individual branches of the economy. The empirical approach used is a...

"The 'wage curve' describes the effects of regional unemployment on the regional wage level. After extensive international comparative research, Blanchflower and Oswald postulated that a doubling of regional unemployment reduced the wage level by 10 per cent.

"The article presents a study on the effects of regional unemployment on regional wages. Data from the IAB employment sample for the period 1981-1990 is used to estimate a multilevel model adapted to longitudinal analysis. The results confirm the existence of wage reactions. The resulting 'wage...

"The flexibility of European labour markets is widely discussed by researchers and politicians. To explore the reactions of wages to regional unemployment for the first time data from a national representative survey of establishments (the IAB Establishment Panel) has been used. The results...

"At a workshop at the Institute for Employment Research (IAB) various studies were presented which attempt to test whether there is a German 'wage curve'. This is an inverse relationship between regional unemployment and regional wages. The occurrence of the wage curve can be explained by...
