Did the economic adjustment programmes deliver wage flexibility in Greece?

Author

  • Laliotis, Ioannis

Abstract

After a period of sequential economic adjustment programmes, recent data show that wages remain irresponsive to local labour market conditions in Greece. Although there is evidence of a weak crosssectional wage curve, it disappears when individual fixed effects are introduced. Despite the extensive labour market reforms, more emphasis to the decentralisation of the wage setting process is needed.
