Centralisation of Wage Bargaining and Macroeconomic Performance: A Survey

·1993·OECD Economics Department Working Papers

Abstract

Starting from the theoretical argument underlying the "hump shape" hypothesis, the paper investigates the various dimensions of centralisation in the wage formation process. The diversity of effects discussed in the paper makes it hard to arrive at unambiguous policy conclusions. Careful analysis of the various features and economy-wide direct as well as indirect effects of the degree of centralisation in the wage formation process suggests that there exist various trade-offs, the most important of which appears to be that between real wage restraint and relative wage flexibility: centralisation favours the former but reduces the latter. This suggests that its effect on macroeconomic performance depends on the type of shocks affecting the economy. Cette étude analyse les divers aspects de la centralisation dans le processus de formation des salaires en s’appuyant sur l’hypothèse théorique de "courbe en U inversée". La diversité des effets analysés rend ambigu les conclusions politiques qui peuvent être tirées de ce papier. Une étude minutieuse des divers aspects de la centralisation et de leurs effets tant directs qu’indirects, sur le processus de formation des salaires suggère qu’il existe différent choix d’objectifs, le plus important semble être entre la contrainte de salaire réel et la flexibilité du salaire relatif: la centralisation favorise le premier et affaiblit le second. Ceci suggère que l’impact sur la performance macro-économique dépend du type de choc affectant l’économie.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
