Women’s average wages are consistently lower than men’s average wages in all countries, even after adjustments for differences in working hours. These lower wages cannot be simply explained by differences in the productivity of women workers, or by the segregation of women into different jobs: they are related to the role of women in the social ...

Wage compression, wage drift and wage inflation in Sweden
Labour Economics, 1996In this paper we derive a model for the joint endogeneity of centrally contracted wages and wage drift in which central union attempts to reduce wage dispersion plays a pivotal role. Empirical results demonstrate that union efforts to level wage differentials exerted large positive effects on both centrally negotiated wage changes and wage drift.

Efficiency wages, staggered wages, and union wage-setting
Oxford Economic Papers, 2014This article studies the role of staggered efficiency wages in a small-scale DSGE model. The simple structure of the model allows for closed-form solutions. The set-up differs from the related literature in that I assume wages are sticky and unions are responsible for wage-setting.

Oxford Economic Papers, 1978
Abstract Wages and profits must be regarded as simultaneously determined—profits must not be regarded as a residual. In the short period both are determined by current demand, profits fluctuating much more strongly than wages. More important is the long-period factor, which depends upon capital-labor substitution elasticity.

Swedish Wages and Wage Policies
The ANNALS of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, 1957A review of 1939-56 wage developments and policies shows the willingness of trade unions to exercise self-restraint. Inflationary pressures, however, caused an uncontrollable and distorting "wage drift." Wage-price ex plosions resulted: repeatedly it appeared necessary to reshape the wage structure on the basis of rank-and-file psychology and market ...
