Arbeitslosigkeit und Einkommensverteilung.

Die Kosten des Arbeitsplatzverlustes als Lohnregulationsmechanismus

Abstract

The development of the wage-profit-distribution in post-war Germany is analyzed, applying the»cost-of-job-loss«-concept which has been elaborated in the social-structure-of-accumulation framework by radical US-economists. Statistical estimates show that the costs of job loss (as adeterminant of work and conflict behavior of workers) exercise a significant influence on the development of income distribution in (West) Germany.
