Testing Steady-State Implications for the NAIRU
研究操作性的NAIRU概念与动态工资-价格模型稳态之间的对应关系,推导出保证这种对应的参数约束,并用挪威数据检验了这些约束。
Estimates of the NAIRU are usually derived either from a Phillips curve or from a wage curve. This paper investigates the correspondence between the operational NAIRU-concepts and the steady state of a dynamic wage-price model. We derive the parameter restrictions that secure that correspondence. The full set of restrictions can be tested by econometric analysis of the wage-price system, and this method is demonstrated for Norwegian data. A set of necessary conditions can be tested from estimated wage curves alone. Existing international evidence from empirical wage equations are re-interpreted in light of these conditions.
