Wage bargaining dynamics impact employment stability and capital formation volatility.
The article explores how wage negotiations affect employment, capital, and income distribution in the economy. The researchers found that the elasticity of substitution between labor and capital plays a crucial role in determining the stability and volatility of the economy. When this elasticity is below one, the economy tends to be more stable and adjusts in a realistic manner. However, when the elasticity is above one, the economy becomes more volatile and steady states may become unstable.
