{"product_id":"wages-in-the-business-cycle-jonathan-michie-9781472513182","title":"Wages in the Business Cycle: An Empirical and Methodological Analysis","description":"During prolonged economic recessions when the normal cyclical expansion of output fails to materialize, the topic of the 'cyclical behaviour of wages' has emerged as an area of debate. In 1985, the British Treasury claimed that academic studies into the cyclical behaviour of wages demonstrated that a cut in wages would increase employment. Wages in the Business Cycle contests this argument by presenting the results of original, empirical work which illustrates the absence of any systematic empirical regularity to wage movements over the business cycle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJonathan Michie argues that the re-emergence of this debate must be seen within the context of the theory of the 'labour demand function', representing an attempt to challenge the Keynesian theoretical assumptions implicit in the bulk of applied macro economic work up to the late 1970s.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathan Michie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1472513185\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472513182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/09\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.04lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Jonathan Michie","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48153674547455,"sku":"9781472513182","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_afe551dd-09b3-4b96-8f95-230d1db82dbc.jpg?v=1770785067","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/wages-in-the-business-cycle-jonathan-michie-9781472513182","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
