TL;DR: The authors found that men's earnings volatility increased during the 1970s, but did not show a clear trend afterwards until a new upward trend appeared after 1998, and they advocated for transparent methods focusing on simple measures of dispersion in year-to-year earnings changes.

TL;DR: This article studied wage behavior in both the United States and Great Britain during the Great Recession and found that downward nominal wage rigidity plays an important role in cyclical employment and unemployment fluctuations.

TL;DR: In the most thorough study to date on wage cyclicality among job stayers, Devereux's (2001) analysis of men in the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) produced two puzzling findings: (1) the real wages of salaried workers are noncyclical, and (2) wage cyclicallyity among hourly workers differs between two alternative wage measures as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The authors examined movements in men's earnings volatility using Panel Study of Income Dynamics data for 1969 through 2004, and found that earnings volatility is substantially countercyclical, with a clear trend appearing in the last few years.

TL;DR: The authors studied wage behavior in both countries, with particular attention to the Great Recession, using 1979-2011 current population survey data for the United States and 1975-2011 New Earnings Survey data for Great Britain.
