Goods-market competition and profit sharing: a multisector macro approach

Article Abstract:

The effect of changes in the degree of goods-market competition on profit sharing was investigated. A basic multisector model that allows for imperfect goods-market competition was developed for this purpose. Empirical results showed that deregulation and increased goods-market competition increase market incentives for profit sharing in a multisector environment. In addition, an increase in the degree of goods-market competition reduces consumer price indexes in labor contracts because labor demand becomes more sensitive to the marginal product of labor.

Assessing monetary policy and deposit deregulation

Article Abstract:

Formulation of an enhanced Reg Q measure helps in the effective evaluation of monetary policy and deposit deregulation in terms of their effects on gross domestic product (GDP) growth. The enhanced Reg Q measure removes omitted variable bias that gives flexible exchange rates a negative perception with regards to its inability to improve monetary policy. In terms of monetary policy, the new Reg Q measure revealed the importance of guidelines on retail deposit rates linked with Reg Q effects when compared to those concerning wholesale deposit rates.
