abstract: 'This investigation explores the long-run relationship between the wage
share in the non-construction private sector and government efforts to
create jobs in public services and construction of infrastructure and
houses, in Sweden in 1900 to 2016. In the present article, it is argued
that the creation of employment with generous wages by the Swedish
government has increased the bargaining power of workers outside of
these sectors, thus raising the wage share, up to about 1980.
Correspondingly, retrenchment from such policy has been detrimental for
the wage share in recent decades. This argument is supported by the
results of cointegration tests, estimation of long-run and short-run,
speed of adjustment, coefficients, as well as by Impulse-response
functions. While government consumption is often found to be an
important determinant for the wage share, earlier research has neglected
the full labor market effect of government job creation associated with
an expansion of the welfare state. Sweden is an ideal case for studying
the impact of welfare policy on the wage share, since it has been one of
the most extensive welfare states and simultaneously has been one of the
most egalitarian countries in the world.'
