Abstract
Sovereign credit rating is a condensed assessment of a country’s ability to repay its public debt in a timely fashion. Downward wage rigidity has been considered a critical determinant of various macroeconomic and financial phenomena. This study examines the effect of a country’s wage rigidity on its sovereign credit rating by directly measuring downward wage rigidities based on a regime-switching model. The results indicate that greater wage rigidity induces lower credit rating. We find that wage rigidity amplifies cash flow fluctuations and magnified cash flow volatility subsequently negatively affects the sovereign credit rating.
6. Conclusion
This study examined the impact of wage rigidity on sovereign credit rating (SCR). The literature on SCR (e.g., Afonso et al., 2011; Bai, 2015; Favilukis and Lin, 2013) suggested that various factors of labor market rigidity negatively correlate with SCR. We contribute to the literature by directly measuring country-level wage rigidity based on our modified regime-switching specification and addressing the intervening mechanisms of cash flow volatility between wage rigidities and SCR.
