Efficiency Wages and Labor Mobility in an Open Economy
Author: Pierre-Richard AgénorPublisher: International Monetary Fund
ISBN: 1451850166
Category : Business & Economics

Pages : 42
Book Description
The paper analyzes the role of labor market segmentation and relative wage rigidity in the transmission process of macroeconomic shocks in a two-sector optimizing model of a small open economy. The analysis is first conducted in the context of perfect intersectoral labor mobility. The discussion is then extended to consider the existence of short-run constraints on labor movements. The results highlight the role of efficiency considerations in the behavior of sectoral wages. A deflationary policy induces a reallocation of labor across sectors, but has no long-run effect on the unemployment rate.

Book Description
Migration presents a stark policy dilemma. Research repeatedly confirms that migrants, their families back home, and the countries that welcome them experience large economic and social gains. Easing immigration restrictions is one of the most effective tools for ending poverty and sharing prosperity across the globe. Yet, we see widespread opposition in destination countries, where migrants are depicted as the primary cause of many of their economic problems, from high unemployment to declining social services. Moving for Prosperity: Global Migration and Labor Markets addresses this dilemma. In addition to providing comprehensive data and empirical analysis of migration patterns and their impact, the report argues for a series of policies that work with, rather than against, labor market forces. Policy makers should aim to ease short-run dislocations and adjustment costs so that the substantial long-term benefits are shared more evenly. Only then can we avoid draconian migration restrictions that will hurt everybody. Moving for Prosperity aims to inform and stimulate policy debate, facilitate further research, and identify prominent knowledge gaps. It demonstrates why existing income gaps, demographic differences, and rapidly declining transportation costs mean that global mobility will continue to be a key feature of our lives for generations to come. Its audience includes anyone interested in one of the most controversial policy debates of our time.

ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 328
Book Description
Reproduces 22 essays from their first publication between 1974 and 1997 on labor economics. Creedy (economics, U. of Melbourne) explores such themes as the effects of migration, population ageing, and retirement on the labor market; the economic analysis of internal labor markets; job mobility, earnings, and responsibility in skilled labor markets with a particular emphasis on chemists and professional scientists; and the relationship between trade unions, tax levels, and relative wages. He uses some low-level statistical arguments, but nothing too sophisticated. There is no subject index. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
