| Tiivistelmä: | This paper examines unemployment hysterisis in the Belgian labor market. It estimates models of wage determination using aggregate and firm-level panel data. The conclusions are: (i) the long-term unemployed do not exert a negative impact on wages; and (ii) the incumbent workers, the "insiders", exercise market power in wage determination, taking greater account of their own interests than those of the unemployed "outsiders"; and (iii) the wage indexation system can cause a downward rigidity in real wages. |
