Sliding scales and wage flexibility in 1920s Britain
Article Abstract:
Research was conducted to examine the role of sliding scales and wage flexibility in early 1920s Britain. The objective was to take into account their possible contribution using cross-sectional industry data. Data were taken from wage level information for 49 industries for 1920 and 1924 and supplemented with data from the Labour Gazette and the UK 1924 Census of Production on industry characteristics. Results indicate that sliding scales had little effect on wage-setting during the rapid deflation of the early 1920s.
