Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We use data on enterprise level from a survey of medium sized and big companies to test for downward nominal wage rigidity in Poland. We find relatively weak support for downward nominal wage rigidity when average total compensation in the enterprise is taken into account. However, since this result may be affected by job rotation, we propose a method for eliminating its impact and find that downward wage rigidity becomes higher. Moreover, disaggregating the data reveals strong differences between sectors, with no rigidity in highly competitive branches and significant rigidities in monopolized or state-owned sectors. Still, the amount of downward nominal wage rigidity seems lower than in other countries, although, due to differences in data sets, robust comparisons are not possible.

Download or read book Wages and Unemployment in Poland written by Fabrizio Coricelli and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1992 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unemployment has increased dramatically with stabilization, mainly because of a generalized contraction in output, rather than a sectoral restructuring or a massive shedding of labor. Real wages fell sharply, and the wage policy has become a delicate political issue. One prescription for reducing the drawbacks in current wage policy is to replace that policy with a generalized agreement on the wage path, with synchronized six-month contracts. Such an agreement might be seen as a consensual agreement - a "social pact" - rather than as a punitive tax.

This book was released on 2005-07-01 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper reviews several methods to measure wage flexibility, and their suitability for evaluating the extent of such flexibility during times of structural change, when wage distributions and wage curves can be particularly volatile. The paper uses nonparametric estimation to capture possible nonlinearities in the wage curve and relaxes the assumption of a stable wage distribution over time by linking the shape of the wage change distribution to macroeconomic variables. The proposed methodology is applied to Polish micro data. The estimates confirm that wages are less elastic in a high-unemployment/low-wage environment. Based on a comparison of actual and counterfactual wage distributions, the effects of nominal wage rigidities on real wages, and thus, on the labor market and the real economy, were limited until 1998, but have been quite significant thereafter.

Download or read book A Model Based Analysis of Spillovers written by Michal Andrle and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2014-10-17 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper studies economic and financial spillovers from the euro area to Poland in a two-country semi-structural model. The model incorporates various channels of macrofinancial linkages and cross-border spillovers. We parameterize the model through an extensive calibration process, and provide a wide range of model properties and evaluation exercises. Simulation results suggest a prominent role of foreign demand shocks (euro area and global) in driving Poland’s output, inflation and interest rate dynamics, particularly in recent years. Our model also has the capability for medium-term conditional forecasting and policy analysis.
