¿FLEXIBILIDAD O RIGIDEZ SALARIAL EN ESPAÑA?: UN ANÁLISIS A ESCALA REGIONAL

SUMMARY

Este trabajo analiza, desde una perspectiva regional, el grado de flexibilidad salarial existente en España. Para ello, en primer lugar se realiza un análisis no paramétrico que muestra la conexión entre el salario real de cada zona, su tasa de desempleo y su nivel de productividad. Posteriormente, se procede a la estimación de una ecuación de regresión utilizando un método novedoso en este campo: técnicas de estimación semiparamétricas. La conclusión general que se obtiene es que el grado de flexibilidad salarial en España es muy reducido. Sin embargo, el análisis efectuado permite apreciar ciertos síntomas de flexibilidad; primero, los salarios responden negativamente ante incrementos en la tasa de desempleo regional cuando la productividad del trabajo es reducida; segundo, aumentos en la productividad de los trabajadores tienen reflejo en los salarios regionales, aunque sólo cuando la tasa de desempleo regional es alta. ABSTRACT In this article we analyse the wage flexibility in Spain from a regional standpoint. For this purpose, we develop a nonparametric approach to show the connexion between regional wages and unemployment rates, and regional wages and productivities. Later, a new technique is applied to provide more econometric evidence regarding migratory flows; concretely, we estimate an equation using semiparametric estimation techniques. The general conclusion that we draw in the study is that wage flexibility in Spain is reduced. However, the analysis allows us to find some signs of flexibility; first, wages respond in a negative way to regional unemployment rates growth when labour productivity is low; second, labour productivity growths affects regional wages but only when regional unemployment rates is high.
