Abstract

This paper studies the impact of relative performance evaluation (RPE) on skilled-unskilled wage inequality. We find that in an economy with full employment, skilled-unskilled wage inequality will be expanded when the strength of RPE increases. However, when the urban sector is under the minimum wage restriction, the impact of RPE on skilled-unskilled wage inequality depends on the substitution elasticity between land and unskilled labor in the rural sector. If this substitution elasticity is sufficiently large (resp. small), skilled-unskilled wage inequality will be expanded (resp. narrowed down) when the strength of RPE rises.

相对绩效评估和工资不平等

本文研究了相对绩效评估（RPE）对技术-非技术工资不平等的影响。我们发现，在一个充分就业的经济体中，当相对绩效评估的力度增加时，技术-非技术工资不平等将扩大。然而，当城市部门受到最低工资限制时，RPE 对技术-非技术工资不平等的影响取决于农村部门土地和非技术劳动力之间的替代弹性。如果这种替代弹性足够大（或足够小），那么当 RPE 增加时，技术-非技术工资不平等将扩大（或缩小）。
