UNTANGLED RESEARCHERS’ ARTICLE APPEARS IN ECONOMIC MODELLING

“Labour market regimes, technology and rent-sharing in Japan”, an article written together with Kyoji Fukao, investigates a phenomenon for which the empirical evidence is very limited. Authors use instrumental variable methods and split-sample analysis, and find that:

• Rent-sharing is affected by contextual factors shaping workers’ bargaining power.
• Rent-sharing is higher when technological progress is faster and ICT capital intensity is higher.
• Rent-sharing declines with a larger share of non-standard employment, lower union density and a weaker role of seniority.
