    El propósito del presente estudio es reevaluar la fase de moderación salarial que tuvo lugar en las economías avanzadas durante el periodo 2008- 2016 desde un enfoque que combina algunos de los hallazgos de la literatura sobre polarización en Economía Política Comparada con aquellos que pueden encontrarse en la serie de trabajos que abordaron el aplanamiento de la curva de Phillips salarial durante el mismo periodo. Para ello, partimos de la hipótesis de que la disminución del crecimiento de los salarios en la fase que sucedió a la Gran Recesión obedece tanto al fenómeno de la segmentación laboral, que se agudiza durante la fase 2008-2016, como a la evolución de la generosidad de las políticas distributivas dirigidas a los outsiders. Los resultados empíricos que obtenemos permiten sostener esta hipótesis y apuntan a que allí donde la presión salarial deflacionaria de la dualidad laboral era menor, como en el caso de algunas economías anglosajonas o europeas continentales, esta podría haberse visto compensada por otros mecanismos de dualización en sentido amplio y, más concretamente, por la evolución de las políticas de compensación dirigidas a los outsiders.

    The goal of this paper is to shed light into the 2008-2016 wage moderation phase in advanced economies from a framework that combines some of the findings presented by the dualization literature in Comparative political Economy with some of the intuitions behind the studies that addressed the flattening of the wage Phillips curve during the same period. Our hypothesis is that lower wage growth rates in the aftermath of the Great Recession may be explained by both labour market segmentation, more acute during the 2008-2016 phase for most countries, and the evolution of welfare state compensation policies targeted on outsiders. The empirical results shown here provide support for this hypothesis. They also suggest that lower deflationary pressure on wages in terms of labour market dualism may be compensated by the influence of other dualization mechanisms in a broader sense, as the cases of liberal market Anglo-Saxon or Continental Europe countries illustrate.
