Abstract

This paper studies wage setting in a directed search model of multiworker firms facing within-firm equity constraints on wages. The constraints reduce wages, as firms exploit their monopsony power over their existing workers, rendering wages less responsive to productivity in doing so. They also give rise to a time inconsistency in the dynamic firm problem, as firms face a less elastic labor supply in the short run than in the long run, making commitment to future wages valuable. Constrained firms find it profitable to fix wages, and doing so is good for worker welfare and resource allocation in equilibrium. (JEL E24, E32, J31, J42, J63, J64, M52)
摩擦性劳动力市场中的企业工资
本文研究了企业内部股权对工资约束的多工人企业的定向搜索模型中的工资设置。这些限制降低了工资,因为企业利用它们对现有工人的垄断力量,使得工资对生产率的反应更弱。它们还导致了动态企业问题中的时间不一致性,因为企业在短期内面临的劳动力供给弹性小于长期,这使得对未来工资的承诺变得有价值。受约束的企业发现固定工资是有利可图的,这样做有利于工人福利和均衡的资源配置。(jl e24, e32, j31, j42, j63, j64, m52)

期刊介绍: American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics focuses on studies of aggregate fluctuations and growth, and the role of policy in that context. Such studies often borrow from and interact with research in other fields, such as monetary theory, industrial organization, finance, labor economics, political economy, public finance, international economics, and development economics. To the extent that they make a contribution to macroeconomics, papers in these fields are also welcome.
