Abstract

In this paper, a hypothetical wage equation is modelled using quarterly data from United Kingdom. Wage and price data have a great importance for the overall features of large-scale macro models and for example for the different policy actions. The modelled feature in this paper is the real wage, the differential of a nominal wage and a price index. In the variable selection phase, the stationary properties of the data were investigated by augmented Dickey-Fuller tests (ADF). The main idea in this paper is to present a neural network model, which has a better fit than conventional MLR model.
