Abstract

We investigate the causes of the declining trend in labour shares using a large industry level data set. We control for the time series properties of the data and for the presence of cross-sectional dependence. Our results show that technological changes (TFP) and ICT capital are a major source of the decline. However, knowledge capital (R&D and patents) increases labour shares, as well as more stringent regulations on Intellectual Property Rights (IPR). Other institutional factors do not play a significant role. Our results also show that hysteresis characterizes the dynamics of labour shares in all countries.
