Wages and unemployment in interwar Britain

Michael Beenstock; Peter Warburton

Abstract We argue that relatively rapid real wage growth was a major cause of the increase in British unemployment in 1929–1932 and the subsequent abatement in unemployment during 1933–1937 reflected the moderation of real wages. Real wages influenced both the demand and the supply of labor. However, employment in manufacturing was particularly affected. In arriving at these conclusions we develop alternative theories of the demand for labor and the supply of labor which we then test empirically over the period 1922–1938.


Economic Modelling | 1986

A macroeconomic model of aggregate supply and demand for the UK

Michael Beenstock; Peter Warburton; Paul Lewington; Alan Dalziel

Abstract In this paper we publish for the first time the econometric model of the UK economy recently developed at City University Business School (CUBS). The differentiating feature of the CUBS model is its concern with the ‘supply side’ and its attempt to estimate an aggregate production function. The model distinguishes between markets in goods and services, labour, capital, money and foreign exchange.

The market for labor in interwar Britain

Michael Beenstock; Peter Warburton

Abstract In a previous paper we showed that both the supply and the demand for labor in interwar Britain were wage elastic. In the present paper we extend these efforts by endogenizing wage behavior so that the model provides an account of employment, unemployment, participation, and real wages on an integrated basis. We explain wage behavior in terms of an instantaneously augmented expected Phillips curve in which the natural rate of unemployment depends, inter alia, on unemployment benefit. The paper concludes with a series of counterfactual simulations to expose the factors responsible for the rise and decline of unemployment during the period.

UK imports and the international trading order

Michael Beenstock; Peter Warburton

ZusammenfassungDie Einfuhren des Vereinigten Königreiches und die internationale Handelsordnung. — Das Hauptziel dieser Arbeit ist es, die au\erordentlich hohen EinkommenselastizitÄten und den ausgeprÄgten Trend der britischen Einfuhren mit Hilfe einer Hypothese zu erklÄren, die die Einfuhren des Vereinigten Königreiches mit der internationalen Handelsordnung in Beziehung setzt. Insbesondere ist es notwendig, die Wirkungen der Handelsliberalisierung und verstÄrkten internationalen Spezialisierung nicht nur auf den britischen Handel, sondern auch auf das Handelsmuster anderer LÄnder zu ermitteln. In diesem Aufsatz wird gezeigt, da\ die beunruhigend hohen ElastizitÄten und der steile Trend auf eine falsche Spezifizierung der Gleichungen zurückzuführen sind und da\ dann, wenn ein allgemeineres Modell entwickelt wird, das die Einflüsse der Welthandelsordnung berücksichtigt, die hohen EinkommenselastizitÄten auf plausible Grö\enordnungen reduziert werden, wÄhrend die autonomen Trends ganz verschwinden.RésuméLes importations du Royaume-Uni et l’ordre international de commerce extérieur. — Le but principal de cet article est d’interpréter les élasticités excessives de revenu et les tendances de temps en terme d’une hypothèse qui attache la performance des importations du Royaume-Uni aux environs du commerce international. Il est particulièrement nécessaire d’identifier les effets de la libéralisation du commerce extérieur et de la spécialisation internationale croissante non seulement sur le commerce extérieur du Royaume-Uni mais aussi sur les structures commerciales des autres pays. Les auteurs arguent dans cet article que les élasticités très hautes et les tendances de temps reflètent une fausse spécification de l’équation et que, si un modèle plus général est développé qui incorpore les influences des environs du commerce mondial, les hautes élasticités de revenu sont réduites aux niveaux plausibles pendant que les tendances de temps autonomes sont totalement éliminées.ResumenLas importaciones del Reino Unido y el Orden Comercial International. — El objetivo central de este artículo es explicar las elasticidades de ingreso excesivas y las tendencias en el tiempo en términos de una hipótesis que relaciona el comportamiento de importación británico con el entorno comercial internacional. En particular es necesario identificar los efectos de la liberalización del comercio y de la creciente especialización internacional no solo sobre el comercio del Reino Unido sino que también sobre los patrones comerciales de otros países. Se argumenta en este artículo que las elasticidades perturbadoramente altas y las tendencias en el tiempo reflejan una especificación ecuacional errónea y que, cuando se desarrolla un modelo más general que incorpora las influencias del entorno comercial mundial, las elasticidades de ingreso altas se revierten a niveles plausibles mientras las tendencias en el tiempo autónomas son eliminadas completamente.

A neoclassical model of the UK labour market

Michael Beenstock; Peter Warburton

In this chapter we try to show how the UK labour market might be modelled along lines that are broadly neoclassical. The specification of the demand side of the labour market has much in common with the treatment of the demand for labour in other chapters. However, we experiment with labour demand schedules that assume either perfect or imperfect competition. On the other hand, unlike Chapter 3, we do not experiment with Keynesian specifications in which costs are minimized with respect to a constraint in terms of expected effective demand. Indeed this is one of the senses in which our model is neoclassical.

Aggregate Investment and Output in the U. K

Michael Beenstock; Alan Dalziel; Peter Warburton

In this paper we have a threefold objective. Firstly, to identify the principal macroeconomic determinants of U.K. private sector investment. Secondly, to examine the effects of private investment on aggregate supply. Finally, we attempt to integrate the effects of public sector investment and pricing on private sector output.
