Abstract

Although constraints on hours worked at the firm-level are viewed as an important determinant of firm wages, little direct evidence exists to support this view. In this paper, we use linked employer-employee data on hours worked in Denmark to measure hours constraints and to investigate how these constraints relate to firm wages. We show that firms with stricter constraints pay higher firm-specific wages and that these premiums are concentrated in more productive firms. Starting from these findings we discuss a framework in which hours constraints are motivated by the productivity gains derived from having a more cooperative production process, leading more productive firms to constrain hours and to pay compensating wage differentials.
企业间的工时限制和工资差异
虽然企业层面的工作时间限制被视为企业工资的重要决定因素,但几乎没有直接证据支持这一观点。在本文中,我们使用丹麦工作时间的关联雇主-雇员数据来衡量时间约束,并调查这些约束与企业工资的关系。我们表明,约束更严格的企业支付更高的企业特定工资,而且这些溢价集中在生产率更高的企业。从这些发现出发,我们讨论了一个框架,在这个框架中,时间限制是由拥有更合作的生产过程所产生的生产率提高所驱动的,从而导致更多的生产企业限制时间并支付补偿性工资差异。
