Consolo, Agostino; Foroni, Claudia; Hjelm, Linnéa - 2026

Did living standards actually improve under state socialism? : real wages in Bulgaria, 1924-1989

Morys, Matthias; Ivanov, Martin - 2024

Accounting for the growth of real wages of U.S. manufacturing production workers since the nineteenth century

Pencavel, John H. - 2024

Why have the real (consumption) wages of U.S. workers risen since the nineteenth century? Some economists answer that increases in real wages have followed increases in labor productivity over time. In this paper, this hypothesized association is confronted with annual observations of changes in...

An industry-level panel analysis of Vedder and Gallaway's adjusted real wage model in the interwar era

Taylor, Jason E.; Xue, Wenjun - 2024

In their 1993 book, Richard Vedder and Lowell Gallaway contend that US unemployment during the twentieth century can be largely explained by movements in the "adjusted real wage rate", that is, the real hourly wage rate divided by labor productivity. In particular, the authors suggest that...
