Theoretical Foundations for Sticky Wages

Author

  • Haley, James

Abstract

The paper compares three different types of theoretical explanation of "sticky" wages. They are implicit contracts, efficiency wage models and insider/outsider models. It then reconsiders Keynes' rational for sticky wages, which focuses on relative wage issues. Finally, the paper considers possible directions for future research.
