The relationship between price and wage frequency changes for Sweden

Abstract
Nominal rigidity is a central question in the debates to address better models to predict the outcome of certain policies. However, there is little empirical evidence that gives a deeper understanding of the mechanism that transmits this friction into the economy. This paper aims to understand the relationship between price rigidity and wage rigidity in the Swedish economy. I found a positive relationship and some insights about the nature of that relation accounting for particular factors such as collective agreements in the labor market and labor intensity among industries.
