PublicationWage Rigidities in Western Germany? Microeconometric Evidence from the 1990s( 2001-01-01)Diskussionspapier 2001-10, Volkswirtschaftliche Abteilung, Universität St. Gallen, IZA Discussion Paper No. 334, Bonn, ZEW Discussion Paper No. 01-36, Mannheim#### not available in German This paper investigates whether and in which sense the west German wage structure has been 'rigid' in the 1990s. A 'strong wage rigidity dynamic' ('wage push') is defined as a rising wage rate and a rising unemployment rate in a labour market. A 'weak wage rigidity dynamic in a decreasing market' is defined as a constant wage rate and a rising unemployment rate in a labour market. The analysis further distinguishes between rigidities related to average wage developments and those related to the wage structure. In order to test the popular hypothesis that rising unemployment rates in Europe are related to rigidities of the wage structure (Krugman 1994), I propose a methodology which makes less restrictive identifying assumptions than some previous studies about changes in labour demand and labour supply. Different dimensions of skill are distinguished, like age (experience), education, occupation, and other labour market characteristics which may make labour heterogeneous.

PublicationLabour Supply of Married Women in Poland A Microeconometric Study Based on the Polish Labour Force Survey( 1995-01-01)ZEW Discussion Paper No.95-12, Mannheim#### not available in German The labour supply of married women in Poland is studied using the Polish Labour Force Survey on three econometric models, viz. Tobit, Three Regime Tobit and Heckit. It is shown that the choice of model has an influence on conclusions drawn. In particular, the Tobit model - which has been widely applied in empirical labour supply analysis - turns out to be a strikingly bad predictor. Further, there is disagreement between the models regarding the wage elasticity of hours supplied. The preferred model for predicting hours of work is the Heckit model. This shows that an increase in the wage rate will induce employees to reduce their number of hours worked. Download Volltext: (pdf, 208 kb)Type: discussion paper
