The purpose of this research is: (1) to identify the effects of variables of: the number of industrial enterprises, the value of input, the value of output, and the regional minimum wage on the labor demand in Indonesia, especially in micro industrial enterprises, (2) to detect the elasticities...

This article illustrates that what is legal may not necessarily be moral for the Roman Catholic Church (RCC) in the Philippines. Using sociological and theological perspectives and secondary data to compare the minimum wage and the family living wage of non-agricultural workers in Metro Manila,...

We analyze how wage setting institutions and job-security provisions interact on unemployment. The assumption that wages are renegotiated by mutual agreement only is introduced in a matching model with endogenous job destruction - la Mortensen and Pissarides (1994) in order to get wage profiles...

Like many transition economies, Slovenia is undergoing profound changes in the workings of the labor market with potentially greater flexibility in terms of both wage and employment adjustment. We investigate the impact of the changing labor market for Slovenia using unique longitudinal matched...

Like many transition economies, Slovenia is undergoing profound changes in the workings of the labour market with potentially greater flexibility in terms of both wage and employment adjustment. To investigate the impact of these changes, we use unique longitudinal matched employer-employee data...

This paper investigates if changes in the minimum wage have influenced changes on the formality and informality rates, and the level of wages in Ecuador. A 12-year panel was built. It allows to overcome the short time span of household data and so to characterize changes over time. Results...

We show that a dynamic general equilibrium model with efficiency wages and endogenous capital accumulation in both the formal and (non-agricultural) informal sectors can explain the full range of confounding stylized facts associated with minimum wage laws in less developed countries

The centralised wage agreements have helped to contain inflation. There is evidence that wage increases were more moderate when a central agreement was concluded than in periods when no central agreement was reached. Nevertheless, there is also evidence that centralised wage setting has had some...
