This paper examines the stability of the wage inflation process in Britain and America from 1892 to 1991. Utilizing a simple model of the aggregate labor market that treats wage inflation and the annual change in the unemployment rate as jointly endogenous variables, we find no evidence of...

Hyclak and Johnes explore the extent to which wage rigidity differs across regional labor markets in the U.S. and how it affects the unemployment response to shifts in regional aggregate demand. They also look at the determinants of differences in wage rigidity across regional labor markets.

This paper develops a two-equation model of the regional labor market in which wage inflation and unemployment rates are jointly endogenous variables. The model is tested on annual data for the ten standard regions of Great Britain over the 1971-85 period. In addition, an exploratory analysis of...

This paper examines some potentially significant interactions between local housing and labor markets. We use an error correction model with equations explaining the average manufacturing wage, the unemployment rate, the labor force and the average house price in an urban area. Estimates are...
