working paper

We study changes in income inequality and inequality of opportunity (IO) in seven Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries.

Our results indicate that there is considerable ...

We develop a novel method of introducing real wage rigidity into an otherwise standard search and matching model. Wages are constantly renegotiated through Nash wage bargaining, however negotiations are based on imperfect information regarding the productivity level and consequently marginal productivity. The imperfect information mechanism is modeled by means ...

2009-03-23 Shocks and rigidities as determinants of the CEE labor markets’ performance. A panel SVECM approach

We analyze with panel SVECM the impact of real wage, productivity, labor demand and supply shocks on the eight CEE economies during 1996-2007. We use a set of long-run restrictions, derived from the DSGE model with explicitly modeled labor market, to identify these structural shocks. Fluctuations in foreign demand are controlled ...
