"The paper analyzes the possible existence of a wage curve in East Germany for the time period from 1998 to 2002 using panel data from the IAB-Establishment Panel, restricting the study to firms from the industrial sector. The results give room to the conclusion that there is a wage curve in East Germany. But the estimated wage elasticities exceed comparable results by a factor between 2 and 3 in absolute value."
