    • Modelling the heuristic dynamics of the wage and price curve model of equilibrium unemployment 

      Kolsrud, Dag; Nymoen, Ragnar (Discussion Papers;671, Working paper, 2012)
      A standard model of equilibrium unemployment consists of static equations for real wage ambitions (wage curve) and real wage scope (price curve), which jointly determine the NAIRU. The heuristics of the model states that ...

      Bjørnstad, Roger (Discussion Papers;No. 270, Working paper, 2000)
      Pervasive skill-biased technological changes, probably from trade in computer technology, have visualized the pros and cons of wage setting centralization in small open economies. Skill mismatch has increased in countries ...
