Zusammenfassung:This paper analyzes wage- and price-setting relations in new EU member countries. Panel estimates indicate a strong and significant relationship between real wages and labor productivity, as well as evidence of wage pass-through to inflation. Terms of trade shocks do not feed through to real wages.

Qualitative evidence also suggests that public sector wage demonstration effects and institutional factors may play a role in wage determination
