Настоящая работа посвящена особенностям формирования резервной заработной платы в условиях российского рынка труда. Первая часть включает обзор литературы, описание используемых данных и сравнительный анализ субъективных оценок резервной заработной платы с различными объективными показателями оплаты труда. Эмпирическую базу исследования составляют данные РМЭЗ-ВШЭ за 2006-2014 гг., относящиеся к незанятым индивидам, желающим иметь работу. Анализ показывает, что хотя зарплатные запросы участников российского рынка труда в среднем завышены, при столкновении с реальностью они быстро корректируются в сторону понижения, что позволяет избегать формирования высокой долговременной безработицы. Во второй части выявляются основные детерминанты резервной заработной платы и оценивается ее влияние на результативность поиска.

Using panel data from the Russian Longitudinal Monitoring Survey for 2006-2014, the paper investigates reservation wages setting in the Russian labor market. The sample includes non-employed individuals wishing to get a job (both searchers and non-searchers). The first part of the paper provides a survey of previous empirical studies, describes data and analyzes subjective estimates of reservation wages in comparison with various objective indicators of actual wages. The analysis shows that wage aspirations of the majority of Russian non-employed individuals are overstated. However their wage expectations are rather flexible and decrease rapidly as the search continues that prevents high long-term unemployment. The second part of the paper provides an econometric analysis of main determinants of reservation wage and its impact on probability of re-employment and wages on searchers’ new jobs.
