Analysis of Tunisian Labour market rigidity

摘要

The present paper aims to measure and analyze labour market rigidity. For that we choose model of WS/PS model in wage bargain form and we complete the estimation by WS version and VAR model. Then main results show that Tunisian labour market is rigid. Facing to unemployment, real productivity and real wage lagl changes, WS/PS gives that real wage is positively elastic to unemployment and productivity both at Demand and supply sides. WS results gives that differential of real wage is negatively elastic to unemployment and real wage lagl but not positive and significant to real productivity in side of labour supply. The VAR model shows that real wage is positively elastic and significant to wage lagl changes, negatively elastic but not significant to unemployment and positive and not significant to real productivity. In add, rigidity is determined by employer social security contribution (ESSC), collective conventions and smig48.
