[c] Wage inputs for the United Kingdom and the United States in the PVLE model vary by age (in 5 year increments); these are overall figures for the total working populations and presented here for illustrative purposes.
Delving deeper into that analysis, our multivariate analysis highlights the role of unemployment, the costs of some non-wage input factors, the degree of competition and the services share in GVA.
It is a measure of costs of non-wage input factors, whose geographic differences may stem from supply and demand changes in segmented markets or structural inefficiencies in regulated markets (Beck et al. 2009).
In their opinion, those differentials are mainly accounted for by the costs of the non-wage input factors, the degree of competition and the economic structure of the regions.
It is also a measure of costs of non-wage input factors this variable is not analyzed by Beck et al. (2009) but we consider its inclusion to be relevant for the Spanish case.
The multivariate specification also offers consistent evidence of the positive impact that increases in non-wage input factor prices (measured either through the growth in the COICOP index "Housing, water, electricity, gas and other fuels" or the oil inflation rate) exert on the inflation rate, thus reducing the degree of competitiveness of the Spanish economy.
The condition that the wage of input i equals the group's value of marginal product is: w i = 1 − α C η Q 1 − δ − η L δ − 1 θ i L 1 − β L i β − 1. (41).
Instead they need a combination of lower real wages, lower input prices and higher productivity.
In particular, if the shock is shared across firms and deteriorates other markets (e.g., the markets for intermediate goods and labour), opportunities may well emerge to trade down wages and input prices.
Many of these credits go not towards investments, but to pay for wages, current inputs and employees' health costs.
