Реакция заработной платы на изменение потребительских цен в условиях внешних шоков: дальневосточные регионы

Abstract

External macroeconomic shocks have changed not only the national and regional labor markets themselves, but also the very ability of these markets to change in response to important changes in the parameters of the external environment. Therefore, wage flexibility as a reaction to external shocks is one of the most important subjects of interest for researchers. The study assessed the flexibility of nominal wages in response to changes in the consumer price index in the labor markets of the Far Eastern Federal District (Far Eastern Federal District) in the period from January 2010 to August 2023 with a detailed description of the periods of the most important external shocks. A comparative spatial and temporal analysis of the flexibility of the Far Eastern labor markets allowed us to justify their transition from a regime of price adaptation to a regime of limited supply of labor resources during the «pandemic» crisis of 2020–2021. A long-term trend of flexibility loss by the regional labor markets of the Far Eastern Federal District has been revealed, which was especially clearly manifested during the second sanctions shock of 2022–2023
