El ajuste al equilibrio a largo plazo de los salarios en España
Abstract
Este artículo aporta nueva evidencia empírica sobre la relación de cointegración entre los salarios y sus determinantes en la economía española desde una perspectiva macroeconómica, así como sobre la velocidad de ajuste hacia el equilibrio a largo plazo, estimando un mecanismo de corrección del error por métodos no lineales.
Los resultados revelan que la tasa de desempleo y las variables de negociación no tienen efecto sobre la evolución de los salarios. De acuerdo con los tests utilizados, la variable que explica dicha evolución en el largo plazo son los precios, mostrando los salarios un comportamiento ligeramente inflacionista. A corto plazo, los salarios vienen explicados por sus valores pasados, reflejando una inercia nominal.
This paper provides new empirical evidence about the cointegration relationship between nominal wages and their determinants in the Spanish economy from a macroeconomic perspective, as well as about the speed of adjustment to the long run equilibrium, estimating an error correction mechanism by non-linear methods.
The results reveal that the unemployment rate and the bargaining variables have no effect on the evolution of nominal wages. According to the test carried out, the variable that explains the evolution of nominal wages in the long term is prices, with wages showing slightly inflationary behaviour. In the short term, wages are explained by their past values, reflecting a nominal inertia.
