Description
This collection brings together the current research of a number of distinguished scholars on unemployment and wage determination. They consider the evidence for unemployment/inflation trade-offs in Europe and in particular test prevalent theories in labour economics such as insider-outsider, bargaining and efficiency theories. The papers fall into two broad categories. Four papers treat "empirical regularities", drawing on multi-country econometric work, recent macroeconomic experience in the Nordic countries and microdata for the UK and US. Four other papers examine the issues in terms of policy alternatives and equilibrium unemployment. The contributors to this volume include Jacques Dreze, Richard Layard, Charles Bean, Edmund S. Phelps, Edmond Malinvaud, Andrew J Oswald, Assar Lindbeck and Dennis Snower.
