We address the effects of wages on employment growth on the basis of a theoretical model from which cost and demand effects can be derived. In the empirical analysis we take a highly disaggregated perspective and apply a newly developed shift-share regression technique on an exhaustive and very...

"Die "Bildungsgesamtrechnung" (BGR) des IAB soll - in Analogie zur Volkswirtschaftlichen Gesamtrechnung und zur Arbeitskräftegesamtrechnung des IAB - ein Gesamtbild der Bestände und Bewegungen im Bildungswesen und insbesondere der Übergänge in das Beschäftigungssystem darstellen und...

"In der Gemeinschaftsaufgabe "Verbesserung der regionalen Wirtschaftsstruktur" werden strukturschwache Regionen durch ein abgestuftes System von Investitionshilfen gefördert. Die Aufnahme bestimmter Regionen in das Fördergebiet wird anhand von Indikatoren zur Wirtschaftskraft und...

"In the paper the results of a test of Blanchflower and Oswald's wage curve hypothesis are presented. The wage curve is a non-linear inverse relationship between the regional unemployment rate and the regional wage level: high unemployment is associated with rather low wages. For the theoretical...

"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. In contrast to that, although a wage...

"This paper gives an overview of the empirical findings concerning the employment effects of environmental technology and environment-orientated services in Germany. After this, methodical approaches and continuing project plans are explained. The reasons for the study are theoretical...

"In der Arbeit wird untersucht, wie sich das Einkommen von stabil in einem Betrieb beschäftigten männlichen Arbeitern im Vergleich zum Einkommen von jenen entwickelt, die wechseln. Datenbasis der Untersuchung ist die Beschäftigtenstichprobe des IAB. Die Analyse erfolgt anhand einer...

Following Blanchflower and Oswald, a “wage curve†describes the wage level as a downward-sloping convex curve of the regional unemployment rate. This article makes two major contributions in the analysis of the wage curve. First, it is recognized that potential endogeneity of the...

"Reservation wages indicate the wage threshold for which individual workers are inclined to supply their working capacity. In important theoretical approaches it is assumed that this threshold depends on the unemployment rate. If this is true, the variation of reservation wages might be an...
