Stemming the tide : what have EU countries done to support low-wage workers in an era of downward wage pressures?
Marchal, Sarah; Marx, Ive - 2015
Governments across the EU have been striving to get more people into work while at the same time acknowledging that more needs to be done to 'make work pay'. Yet this drive comes at a time when structural economic shifts are putting pressure on wages, especially of less skilled workers. This...

Job protection, minimum wage and unemployment
Cahuc, Pierre; Zylberberg, André - 1999
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...

Structural transformation, biased technological change, and employment in Vietnam

Minimum wage and the average wage in France : a circular relationship?
Cette, Gilbert; Chouard, Valérie; Verdugo, Gregory - 2013
This paper investigates whether increases in the minimum wage in France have the same impact on the average wage when intended to preserve the purchasing power of the minimum wage as when intended to raise it. We find that the impact of the minimum wage on the average wage is strong, but differs...

Minimum wages, capital accumulation and worker's incomes
Oikonomidēs, Geōrgios; Moutos, Thomas - 2014
Using an intertemporal model of saving and capital accumulation we demonstrate that it is impossible for any binding minimum wage to increase the after-tax incomes of workers if the production function is Cobb-Douglas with constant returns to scale, or if there are no differences in ability...

Labour-market institutions and the dispersion of wage earnings
Salverda, Wiemer; Checchi, Daniele - 2014
Considering the contribution of the distribution of individual wages and earnings to that of household incomes we find two separate literatures that should be brought together, and bring 'new institutions' into play. Growing female employment, rising dual-earnership and part-time employment...
