La hipótesis de los salados de eficiencia presenta una novedad importante: invierte la causalidad clásica de la relación productividad-salario. De esta for- ma, el salario se erige en un instrumento decisivo del empresario para deter- minar el nivel de productividad de la empresa y, como consecuencia, la rigi-dez del salario real no surge únicamente por la presión de los trabajadores, sino que es el resultado de la conducta optimizadora del empresario.El artículo analiza la relación salario-productividad y los principales méto- dos de contrastación empírica de la misma. El estudio realizado nos permite concluir que el modelo de salarios de eficiencia, aunque no constituye una “teoría general” del funcionamiento del mercado de trabajo, ayuda a explicar satisfactoriamente diversos rasgos del desempleo actual, contribuye a clarifi- car la incidencia de las características peculiares de cada empresa en el proce- so de formación de los salarios y consigue justificar las diferencias salariales interindustriales. The efficiency wage hypothesis presents an important novelty: it reverts the causality of the productivity-Wage relation. So, wage appears as a decisi-ve instrument of the firm to fix the productivity anó, as a consequence of this, the real wage rigidity is a result of the maximizing behavior of the firm.The article analizes the productivity-Wage relation and the main methods of empirical testing.
