Estimates of a bargaining model of wages for the UK economy 1870-1995

Author

  • Paul Turner

Abstract

This paper presents estimates of an error correction model for the real wage rate using annual data over the period 1870-1995. We find strong evidence for the existence of a cointegrating relationship between real wages, unemployment and the ratio of unemployment benefits to wages.
