Abstract

Using linked employer-employee data, I compute firm-level measures of the labor supply elasticity facing each private non-farm firm in the US. I provide the first direct evidence of the positive relationship between a firm's labor supply elasticity and the earnings of its workers. I also contrast the dynamic model method employed by this paper with the more traditional use of concentration ratios to measure a firm's labor market power. Finally, I construct a counterfactual earnings distribution which allows the effects of firm market power to vary across the earnings distribution.
企业市场支配力与收益分配
使用关联的雇主-雇员数据,我计算了美国每个私营非农业企业面临的劳动力供给弹性的企业层面度量。我提供了第一个直接证据,证明企业的劳动力供给弹性与其工人收入之间存在正相关关系。我还将本文采用的动态模型方法与更传统的使用集中度比率来衡量企业劳动力市场力量的方法进行了对比。最后,我构建了一个反事实的收益分配,它允许企业市场力量的影响在收益分配中变化。
