https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2018/05/staff-analytical-note-2018-16/
As at the national level, available sources of hourly wage data for Canadian provinces sometimes send conflicting signals about wage growth. This note has two objectives. First, we develop a common measure of provincial wages (the provincial wage-common) to better capture the underlying wage pressures, reflecting the overall trend across all data sources.2018-05-30T13:48:15+00:00enApplying the Wage-Common to Canadian Provinces2018-05-30Bending the Curves: Wages and Inflation

As economic slack continues to be absorbed and the labour market tightens, wage growth and inflation could increase faster than expected, which would suggest convexity in their Phillips curves. This note investigates whether there is convexity in the Phillips curves for Canadian wage growth and inflation by testing different empirical approaches over the post-inflation-targeting period.2018-05-30T11:47:36+00:00enBending the Curves: Wages and Inflation2018-05-30The Political Impact of Immigration: Evidence from the United States

In this paper we study the impact of immigration to the United States on the vote for the Republican Party by analyzing county-level data on election outcomes between 1990 and 2010. Our main contribution is to separate the effect of high-skilled and low-skilled immigrants, by exploiting the different geography and timing of the inflows of these two groups of immigrants.2018-05-08T08:44:15+00:00enThe Political Impact of Immigration: Evidence from the United States2018-05-08International topicsLabour marketsStaff Working Paper 2018-19https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/swp2018-19.pdfThe Political Impact of Immigration: Evidence from the United StatesAnna Maria MaydaGiovanni PeriWalter SteingressMay 2018FF2F22JJ6J61Wages: Measurement and Key Drivers

Available sources of hourly wage data in Canada sometimes send conflicting signals about wage growth. This note thus has two objectives: first, we develop a wage measure—the wage-common—to better capture the (underlying) wage pressures reflecting the common trend across the available data sources. Second, we re-examine the relationship between wage growth and macro drivers (labour market slack and labour productivity).2018-01-17T10:00:23+00:00enWages: Measurement and Key Drivers2018-01-17
