Based on a two-country model it is scrutinized how the structure of the unemployment benefit system affects the consequences of idiosyncratic labor market shocks on real wages and unemployment in other countries. International spillover effects are caused by changes in world real income. The...

This paper analyzes the cyclicality of real consumer wages and real producer wages in Germany. In order to scrutinize whether the empirical results are robust to the detrending method, we apply the deterministic trend model, the Beveridge-Nelson decomposition, the Hodrick-Prescott filter, the...

This article establishes stylized facts about the cyclicality of real consumer wages and real producer wages in Germany. As detrending methods, we apply the Beveridge–Nelson decomposition, the Hodrick–Prescott filter, the Baxter–King filter, and the structural time series model. The...

Focusing on the compression of wage cuts, many empirical studies find a high degree of downward nominal wage rigidity (DNWR). However, the resulting macroeconomic effects seem to be surprisingly weak. This contradiction can be explained within an intertemporal framework in which DNWR not only...
