Abstract

The paper is motivated primarily by empirical observations elsewhere indicating that public sector earnings are, on average, higher than in the private sector. There is no theoretical framework guiding this. The authors have therefore overlooked several theories of public sector wage determination. The oldest, best known, and perhaps most pertinent to this paper is the work by Fogel and Lewin (1974), who argued that discretion in decision making and the political process in wage setting provide upward-biased wage rates for most government jobs. Thus, the Fogel-Lewin framework predicts that public sector wages will be higher than private sector wages for most job descriptions.

Suresh Narayanan对马来西亚工资差异的评论：公共就业、性别，和种族

这篇论文的动机主要来自其他地方的实证观察，这些观察表明，公共部门的收入平均高于私营部门。没有理论框架来指导这一点。因此，作者忽略了公共部门工资决定的几个理论。最古老、最著名、或许也是与本文最相关的是Fogel和Lewin(1974)的研究，他们认为，决策中的自由裁量权和工资设定中的政治过程为大多数政府工作提供了偏向上行的工资率。因此，Fogel-Lewin框架预测，对于大多数职位描述，公共部门的工资将高于私营部门的工资。
