Abstract

Although a growing body of literature identifies the within-firm redistribution effects of trade, research on the adjustment processes in within-firm labor markets remains scarce. This study analyzes the within-firm adjustment of working hours and wages by considering workers’ educational background and gender in response to a change in offshoring. Matched worker–firm panel data in the Japanese manufacturing sector covering 1998 to 2014 are used. The analysis leads to the following three observations. First, offshoring does not significantly alter the skill premium and gender gap in terms of scheduled monthly salaries and scheduled hourly wages. Second, offshoring decreases skill premium in annual hourly wages, whereas it increases gender gap in annual salaries. Third, this uneven impact on annual variables arises from the different changes in overtime working hours: college graduates work longer with a lower overtime premium, whereas female workers do not increase overtime work.

公司内部劳动力市场中的离岸外包和工作时间调整
尽管越来越多的文献确认了贸易在企业内部的再分配效应,但对企业内部劳动力市场调整过程的研究仍然很少。本研究通过考虑工人的教育背景和性别来分析企业内部工作时间和工资的调整,以应对离岸外包的变化。本文使用了1998年至2014年日本制造业的匹配工人-公司面板数据。分析得出以下三个结论。首先,离岸外包在月薪和小时工资方面并没有显著改变技能溢价和性别差距。其次,离岸外包降低了年小时工资的技能溢价,但却增加了年工资的性别差距。第三,这种对年度变量的不均衡影响源于加班时间的不同变化:大学毕业生工作时间更长,加班奖金较低,而女性员工没有增加加班。
