Woitek, Ulrich - 2004
The cyclicality of real wages has important implications for the validity of competing business cycle theories. However, the empirical evidence on the aggregate level is inconclusive. Using a threshold vector autoregressive model for the US and Germany to condition the relationship between real...

Real Wage Cyclicality in Germany and the UK : New Results Using Panel Data
Peng, Fei; Siebert, Stanley - 2021

Sectoral Okun's Law and Cross-Country Cyclical Differences
Goto, Eiji - 2020
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...
