Data for: Two regimes of unit labour cost compression: Why aggregate cost-competitiveness indicators mislead in emerging economies. Evidence from Morocco, 2001–2024
Description
This dataset supports the article “Two regimes of unit labour cost compression: Why aggregate cost-competitiveness indicators mislead in emerging economies. Evidence from Morocco, 2001–2024”. It contains three parts. (1) Raw public statistics from the Haut-Commissariat au Plan (HCP): quarterly value added by branch at current prices and in chained volumes (base 2014), employment in full-time equivalents by branch and status (2014–2023), supply-and-use table data by branch, and compensation of employees (1998–2024). (2) Constructed datasets: annual aggregate series for 2001–2023 (export market share, domestic and relative unit labour cost, real effective exchange rate, total factor productivity, labour shares); relative unit labour cost indices with each partner dropped in turn and under alternative partner weights; reconstructed partner unit labour costs in dirhams; bilateral trade with nine partners (2018–2023); and a balanced panel of 28 national-accounts branches for 2014–2024. (3) Python scripts for the ARDL bounds tests, the shift-share decomposition, randomisation inference and the partner-side decomposition. All constructed datasets are also provided in one Excel workbook with a variable dictionary. Each file is linked in the README to the tables it supports.
