https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2009/07/working-paper-2009-21/
Real wage rigidities have recently been proposed as a way of building intrinsic persistence in inflation within the context of New Keynesian Phillips Curves. Using two recent illustrative structural models, we evaluate empirically the importance of real wage rigidities in the data and the extent to which such models provide useful information regarding price stickiness.2009-07-12T15:38:01+00:00enStructural Inflation Models with Real Wage Rigidities: The Case of Canada2009-07-12Econometric and statistical methodsInflation and pricesLabour marketsWorking Paper 2009-21 https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/wp09-21.pdfStructural Inflation Models with Real Wage Rigidities: The Case of CanadaJean-Marie DufourLynda KhalafMaral KichianJuly 2009CC1C13C5C52EE3E31The Changing Pace of Labour Reallocation in Canada: Causes and Consequences
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/leung1.pdf
The number of job gains and losses across firms in Canada each year is roughly one-fifth the total number of jobs and generally occurs within sectors (industries) rather than across sectors. Since labour reallocation within sectors has been strongly related to productivity growth in Canada, defining the key drivers of this type of reallocation is important, given the higher rates of reallocation and productivity growth in the Untied States than in Canada. This article finds that the appreciation of the Canadian dollar and rising commodity prices led to above-average reallocation of labour across sectors over the 2005-08 period, but that the impact on productivity has been minor. Labour reallocation across firms, however, generates substantial labour productivity gains in manufacturing and the business sector as a whole.2009-06-11T12:00:49+00:00enThe Changing Pace of Labour Reallocation in Canada: Causes and Consequences2009-06-11Labour Shares and the Role of Capital and Labour Market Imperfections

In continental Europe, labour shares in national income have exhibited considerable variation since 1970. Empirical and theoretical research suggests that the evolution of labour markets and labour market imperfections can, in part, explain this phenomenon.2009-01-29T10:35:48+00:00enLabour Shares and the Role of Capital and Labour Market Imperfections2009-01-29Economic modelsFinancial institutionsLabour marketsDiscussion Paper 2009-2https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/dp09-2.pdfLabour Shares and the Role of Capital and Labour Market ImperfectionsLena SuchanekJanuary 2009CC7C78EE2E25JJ6J64What Accounts for the U.S.-Canada Education-Premium Difference?

This paper analyzes the differences in wage ratios of university graduates to less than university graduates, the education premium, in Canada and the United States from 1980 to 2000. Both countries experienced a similar increase in the fraction of university graduates and a similar increase in skill biased technological change based on capital-embodied technological progress, but only the United States had a large increase in the education premium.2009-01-01T15:58:50+00:00enWhat Accounts for the U.S.-Canada Education-Premium Difference?2009-01-01Labour marketsProductivityWorking Paper 2009-4 https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/wp09-4.pdfWhat Accounts for the U.S.-Canada Education-Premium Difference?Oleksiy KryvtsovAlexander UeberfeldtJanuary 2009EE2E24E25JJ2J24J3J31
