Les salaires sont-ils rigides ? Le cas de la France à la fin des années 1990 ; suivi d'un commentaire de Hubert Kempf

Abstract: [fre] Les salaires sont-ils rigides? Le cas de la France à la fi n des années 1990 . . Les salaires sont rigides s’ils varient «moins qu’ils ne devraient», parce que des mécanismes économiques, des attitudes psychologiques ou des contraintes institutionnelles font obstacle à leur ajustement, en particulier à la baisse. Les tests empiriques de rigidités à la baisse sont fragiles. Ils reposent sur des hypothèses ad hoc portant sur la forme qu’aurait la distribution des variations de salaires en l’absence de rigi… Show more

“…Duhautois and Kramarz (2006) results show that the adjustment mechanisms are different in cases of wage bill creation and wage bill destruction. Biscourp et al (2005) provide evidence of an asymmetric response of wage changes to a firm's productivity shocks. Therefore, the analysis of each component of the wage bill is performed separately for "good times" and "bad times" defined according to wage bill growth.…”

“…2 This is the case, for instance, of Altonji and Devereux (1999), Biscourp et al (2005), Dickens et al (2006Dickens et al ( , 2007 wage rigidity for job stayers than for movers. It should be noted that, in Belgium, pay scales, defined by sector, profession and age through collective agreements by social partners, provide a lower wage bound by sector, profession and age.…”

“…Further, I conjecture that the component of labor compensation that changes over time is likely to be bonuses: Bonuses represented 13% of total labor compensation in France during the time period studied. Using detailed information on labor costs across firms in France, Biscourp et al (2005) show that this is an important margin of adjustment. Using quarterly survey data from France, Le Bihan et al (2014) observe the wage of one to three representative employees within each establishment.…”

“…The well-known difficulty of accurately measuring overtime hours complicates the assessment of this margin. 30 In France, Desplatz et al (2003) and Biscourp et al (2005) show that overtime compensation represents 1% of earnings. Cahuc and Carcillo (2014) show that a major reform that reduced the taxation of overtime hours in France in 2007 has not had any impact on hours worked.…”
