Wage Setting and the Effect of Contributions on the Cost of Labor,
by Jean-Philippe Cotis, Abderrahim Loufir.
French macroeconomic models attribute an asymmetrical impact on the cost of laborto both wage earners' and employers' contributions: according to these models, the increase in wage earners'contributions entails a decrease in net wages unlikely to alter the overall cost of labor, whereas the increase in employers' contributions is entirely translated into an increase in the cost of labor. The purpose of this study is to test empirically the accuracy of this statement for France and for five other European countries by using a "wage equation" integrating both wage earners' and employers' contributions. The result is that neither employers' contributions nor wage earners' contributions have any middle-term influence on the cost of labor. They do however have an adverse effect on the purchasing power of net wages. Changing employers' contributions only has a passing effect particularly on the cost of labor.
