The Halle Institute for Economic Research (IWH) - Member of the Leibniz Association and the International Network for Economic Research (INFER) were organising a workshop on unconventional monetary policy, international monetary policy spillovers, financial stability and monetary policy.

On Thursday, 10 November 2016, a PhD workshop on financial market topics with Professor Dr Claudia Buch, Vice-President of the Deutsche Bundesbank, will take place from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in the conference room of the Leibniz Institute for Economic Research Halle (IWH).
We analyse whether the increase in trade exposure induced by the rise of China and the transformation of Eastern Europe has been a driver of the severe decline in collective bargaining coverage rates among German establishments from the mid 1990s onwards, which has been identified as a major source of rising wage inequality in Germany.
We show that occasional deviations from efficient wage-setting generate strong and statedependent amplication of exogenous uncertainty shocks and contribute to explain the observed countercyclicality of empirical measures of aggregate uncertainty.
