The drivers of wage growth in Europe are insufficiently understood. I argue that the institutional structure of labour markets – particularly labour market dualities – improve our understanding of the determinants of wage growth. This also helps to understand the period of a secular decline in wage growth after the crisis. Using data for the member states of the EU from Q1 2004 to Q4 2016, I demonstrate that there is a negative effect of the incidence of temporary contracts on overall wage growth. Further, I am able to show that it has considerably increased since the global financial crisis.

劳动力市场等级制度和宏观经济–劳动力市场的双重性是否会影响欧洲的工资增长？

人们对欧洲工资增长的驱动因素了解不足。我认为，劳动力市场的制度结构，尤其是劳动力市场的二元性，可以增进我们对工资增长决定因素的理解。这也有助于了解危机后工资增长长期下降的时期。使用2004年第一季度至2016年第四季度欧盟成员国的数据，我证明了临时合同的发生率对总体工资增长具有负面影响。此外，我能够证明，自全球金融危机以来，这一数字已大大增加。
