Wage stickiness, offshoring and unemployment (2019)
Journal Article
Aloi, M., & Hoefele, A. (2019). Wage stickiness, offshoring and unemployment. Economics Letters, 177, 56-59. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.econlet.2019.01.025

This note investigates how the effect of offshoring on unemployment is influenced by the wage setting process. We assume staggered wage contracts in an otherwise standard search and matching model. In this setup, the contract wage depends also on exp... Read More about Wage stickiness, offshoring and unemployment.
