Abstract

This article examines the impact of a firm's position in Global Value Chains (GVCs) on wages according to workers' origin. Based on a unique linked employer–employee dataset regarding the Belgian manufacturing industry covering the 2002–2010 timespan, our estimates show that firms that are more upstream in the value chain pay on average significantly higher wages. However, the wage premium associated with upstreamness is also found to be unequally shared among workers. Unconditional quantile regressions and decomposition methods suggest that high-wage workers born in developed countries benefit the most from being employed higher up the value chain, while workers born in developing countries appear to be unfairly rewarded.

根据工人出身的工资差异:在全球价值链中更上游工作的作用
本文根据工人的出身考察了企业在全球价值链中的地位对工资的影响。基于2002年至2010年比利时制造业的一个独特的雇主-雇员关联数据集,我们的估计表明,价值链上游的公司平均工资要高得多。然而,与上游相关的工资溢价也被发现在工人之间分配不均。无条件的分位数回归和分解方法表明,出生在发达国家的高薪工人从价值链上游的就业中受益最大,而出生在发展中国家的工人似乎得到了不公平的奖励。
