Project description

The aim of this project is to evaluate the potential of income-policies to secure a moderate wage growth, when market forces pull in the other direction. We will base our study on a data set which contains prices, wages and a description of (changes in) structural conditions at the Nordic labour markets for the period 1960-98. The project focuses in particular on wage formation and unemployment in Norway and Sweden.
