Abstract

GARCíA-MAINAR I. and M ONTUENGA-GÓMEZ V. M. (2003) The Spanish wage curve: 1994- 1996, Reg. Studies 37 , 929- 945. In this paper, we estimate a wage curve for Spain using data from the European Community Household Panel, which provides microinformation for the period 1994-96. By refining the unemployment rate measure, we find an unemployment elasticity of wages not very far from that encountered in other developed countries. We argue that these results correspond to a disequilibrium representation of the regional unemployment structure, in which unemployment differentials tend to persist over time.

A partir des données provenant du European Community Household Panel (échantillon permanent auprès des ménages dans la Communauté éuropéenne), cet article cherche à estimer une courbe des salaires pour l'Espagne qui fournit des renseignements microéconomiques sur la période qui va de 1994 à 1996. En raffinant la mesure du taux de chômage, il s'avère une élasticité des salaires par rapport au chômage qui s'approche de celle observée dans d'autres pays dé veloppés. On affirme que ces résultats constituent une représentation du déséquilibre quant à la structure régionale du chômage, où les écarts du chômage ont tendance à persister sur le temps. GARCíA-MAINAR I. und M ONTUENGA- GÓMEZ V. M. (2003) Die spanische Lohnkurve im Zeitraum 1994-1996, Reg. Studies 37 , 929- 945. In diesem Aufsatz wird mit Hilfe des Haushaltsausschusses der europäischen Gemeinschaft eine Lohnkurve für Spanien berechnet, die Mikroinformation für den Zeitraum 1994-1996 liefert. Durch Verfeinerung des Begriffes Erwerbslosenrate wird eine Erwerbslosigkeitselastizität von Löhnen festgestellt, die nicht sehr weit hinter der anderer Industrieländer zurücksteht. Die Autoren stellen die Behauptung auf, daß dies Ergebnisse einer unterschiedlich gewichteten Darstellung der regionalen Erwerbslosigkeitsstruktur entsprechen, in der Unterschiede meist lange fortbestehen.
