More broadly, we find that firms of larger dimension, with a higher share of blue collar workers, or belonging to a sector where bonuses represent a large part of annual earnings were the ones displaying a higher level of wage flexibility.
Therefore, all measures of wage rigidity we use are based on the notion that the notional wage changes distribution is symmetrically distributed around the median and that observing a missing mass below 0 (or below the inflation rate) implies higher level of wage rigidities.
We document the presence of a trade-off between wage and employment adjustments: firms historically displaying higher levels of wage rigidities were less able to modify wages but exhibited higher turnover.
