| Keywords: | Inflation Functional Distribution of Income Markups |
| Description: | We use results from the literature on the determinants of price-cost margins to derive an equation relating labor's share of national income to the inflation rate (as well as to the output gap, the unemployment rate and the capital stock per worker). The equation is tested with a panel of 15 OECD countries. We obtain a robust positive relationship between inflation and the labor share. Our results suggest that disinflation is not distributively neutral, provide empirical support for the distinct concern about price stability shown by trade unions and employers' organizations, and help explaining the negative impact of inflation on growth. Financial support from the Spanish Ministry of Education, DGESIC (PB97-1057), is gratefully acknowledged. |
