The time series of various economic variables often exhibit asymmetry: decreases in the values tend to be sharp and … fast, whereas increases usually occur slowly and gradually. We detect signs of an analogous asymmetry in firms’ wage … shocks in the same variables. As well as describing the presence of asymmetry in the speed of wage adjustment, we investigate …
