摘要

在过去几十年里，美国收入不平等急剧加剧的主要原因是公司间薪酬差距的扩大。本文表明，一种独特的跨队列模式推动了这种增长:新队列的公司进入时更加分散，并在其整个生命周期中保持更加分散。这些队列模式表明，与企业活力下降相关的企业进入变化与收入不平等加剧之间存在联系。群体效应还意味着不平等的缓慢扩散:随着更年轻、更不平等的企业群体取代更年长、更平等的企业群体，不平等程度会上升。

The Slow Diffusion of Earnings Inequality

Rising between-firm pay dispersion accounts for the majority of the dramatic increase in earnings inequality in the United States in the last several decades. This paper shows that a distinct cross-cohort pattern drives this rise: newer cohorts of firms enter more dispersed and stay more dispersed throughout their lives. These cohort patterns suggest a link between changes in firm entry associated with the decline in business dynamism and the rise in earnings inequality. Cohort effects also imply a slow diffusion of inequality: inequality rises as younger and more unequal cohorts of firms replace older and more equal cohorts.

期刊介绍： Since 1983, the Journal of Labor Economics has presented international research that examines issues affecting the economy as well as social and private behavior. The Journal publishes both theoretical and applied research results relating to the U.S. and international data. And its contributors investigate various aspects of labor economics, including supply and demand of labor services, personnel economics, distribution of income, unions and collective bargaining, applied and policy issues in labor economics, and labor markets and demographics.
