evidence is available. The few existing estimates of the intergenerational correlation in ...

theoretical model to highlight several key concepts. Then it reviews (and discusses the ...
In the period since the 1960's, as in other periods, aggregate time series on real wages have
displayed only modest cyclicality. Macroeconomists therefore have described weak
cyclicality of real wages as a salient feature of the business cycle. Contrary to this ...
