Abstract: As an accepted empirical law of economics, the wage curve establishes a negative relationship between local unemployment rates and level of wages. By using microdata from the Household Labor Force Survey and especially focusing on the period 2014-2017, this paper analyses the existence of the Turkish wage curve for the five-year periods from 2006 to 2017. We find strong evidence for the existence of the Turkish wage curve for all periods prior to 2014, but no evidence for the period 2014-2017. We believe that this is a consequence of the recent significant changes in the Turkish labour market.
