Abstract: Labor productivity is a crucial long-run determinant of real wages. Nonetheless, wage and productivity dynamics often diverge in practice due to a range of economic and institutional factors. This study analyzes the relation between the dynamics of labor productivity and wages in Brazil from 1996 to 2014, and adopts a sectoral perspective to account for divergent trends among economic sectors. Analyses are based on pooled data drawn from the National Accounts and the Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios… Show more

“…First, the findings show there is a long-term relationship between wages and productivity between 1988:Q1 and 2006:Q4. This result is in line with the findings of other studies in the literature such as Lopez and Silva (2011), Meghan (2002), Fedderke and Mariotti (2002), Özmucur (2003), Marquetti (2004), Strauss and Whoar (2004), Güneş (2007), Sharpe et al (2008), Goh (2009), Marelli and Signorelli (2010), Fashin and Gavosto (2010), Klein (2012), Dostie (2006), Bhattacharya et al (2009), Karaalp-Orhan (2017), Katowich and Maia (2018) and Dimian et al (2019).…”

“…The empirical literature on productivity and wages focuses on two broad themes. For example, many studies observe a significant relationship between productivity and wages such as Katowich and Maia (2018) for Brazil, Dostie (2006) for Canada, Fedderke and Mariotti (2002) for South Africa, Özmucur (2003) for Turkey, Marquetti (2004) for the United States, Strauss and Whoar (2004) for US manufacturing industries, Güneş (2007) for the Turkish manufacturing sector, Sharpe et al (2008) for Canada, Goh (2009) for Malaysia, Klein (2012) for South Africa, Bhattacharya et al (2009) for the Indian manufacturing sector and Meghan (2002) whose study covers multiple industrialized countries. On the other hand, Tadjoeddin (2016) found a post-crisis disconnect between wages and productivity in Indonesia.…”

“…This means that any increase in wages for workers will result in an enhancement in labor productivity. These results are generally consistent with previous studies, as found by Katovich & Maia (2018), Fatma et al (2017), andBester &Pull (2003). Wages correlate with labor productivity.…”

“…Structural causes such as the increasing flexibility of labour markets (Mergulhão and Pereira, 2019, with a firm-level analysis for Portugal), the widening gap between median and average wage and the declining labour share are considered the best candidates to explain such divergences, more than the purported impact exerted by technological change. To the best of our knowledge, evidence on developing countries is very scant, exceptions being Bhattacharya et al (2011) for Indian manufacturing firms, which however look at the effects of wages on labour productivity; Wakeford (2004) for South Africa and Katovich and Maia (2018) for Brazil. According to the latter studies, the elasticity in developing countries appears to be consistently lower than the one reported for developed ones, in the range between [0.1 − 0.3].…”
