Labour productivity growth determines wage growth, but there is also a causal link in the opposite direction. Our panel data analysis of 19 OECD countries (1960-2004) shows that a one-percentage point change in growth rates of real wages corresponds to 0.31 - 0.39 percentage points change in labour productivity growth. This finding casts doubt on the desirability of wage-cost saving flexibilization of European labour markets. The latter may favor job growth but impedes labour productivity growth, which is problematic with an ageing population in Europe
