Chris Nekarda: Economics

I posted the slides from my lectures on Real Wages and Business Cycles on the downloads page.

Lecture 1 covers basic concepts of disaggregate cyclical analysis of real wages and the longitudinal data sets used for this research. Lecture 2 covers the principal micropanel studies of real wage cyclicality [Bils (1985); Shin (1994); Solon, Barsky, and Parker (1994)]. Lecture 3 covers cyclical behavior involving job changers versus job stayers [Barlevy (2001); Devereux (2001); Shin and Solon (2006)].
