Author

  • Checherita-Westphal, Cristina

Abstract

This box reviews indexation schemes and other mechanisms for setting public wages and pensions across euro area countries. It concludes that price indexation of public wages is relatively limited, while public pensions are overwhelmingly automatically indexed, fully or partially, to prices and wages. JEL Classification: E62, J3, H55
