Using longitudinal social security data, this study finds evidence of weak real wage cyclicality in Spain throughout 1988 - 2011. The baseline estimate of a 0.4 % increase in wages in response to a one percentage point decline in the unemployment rate lies in the lower bound of available...

En varios países de la OCDE, las asociaciones empresariales y las organizaciones sindicales fijan tarifas salariales mínimas de obligado cumplimiento para todos los empleadores en la industria. Una hipótesis considera que la totalidad de los salarios en estas industrias solo cambia cuando se...

En este trabajo se estima la sensibilidad cíclica de los salarios en España entre 1987 y 2013 a partir de los datos proporcionados por la Muestra Continua de Vidas Laborales (MCVL). La ciclicidad de los salarios en el mercado de trabajo español es reducida, encontrándose, además, que esta...

In several OECD countries employer federations and unions fix skill-specific wage floors for all workers in an industry. One view of those "explicit" contracts argues that the prevailing wage structure reflects the labor market conditions back at the time when those contracts were bargained,...

We estimate real wage cyclicality in the period compressed between 1987 and 2013 using a large administrative dataset of workers in Spain. Real wages are weakly procyclical in Spain and focusing on differences in different phases of the business cycle, we find that differences across expansions...

We estimate real wage cyclicality in the period between 1987 and 2013 using a large administrative dataset of workers in Spain. Real wages are weakly procyclical in Spain and, focusing on different phases of the business cycle, we find significant differences between expansions and recessions,...
