摘要

经济学文献生动地描述了印度不同经济活动和职业的工人所获得的工资存在巨大差异。本文的主要目的是找出决定工资差异的因素，并衡量管理和专业职业的工资不平等情况。利用全国抽样调查办公室（NSSO）发布的定期劳动力调查（PLFS）的单位级别记录，我们采用量级回归模型来研究工资分配是如何由个人、家庭和劳动力市场特征决定的。我们的分析仅限于年龄在 15 岁至 65 岁之间、从事管理和专业职业的人员。研究结果表明，城乡二元结构、性别、技术教育程度、社会群体、工作合同、企业类型和企业劳动力规模在不同的量级上具有统计意义，是解释印度管理和专业人员工资分配的重要因素。从政策角度看，加强基于性别的措施，同时扩大技术教育和劳动力市场机构，对于缩小印度的工资差距至关重要。JEL 分类：J16、J24、J31

Wage Differentials and Inequality in Managerial and Professional Jobs: Quantile Regression Analysis

In the economics literature, it is vividly portrayed that there is a great deal of disparity in wages received by workers across economic activities and occupations in India. The primary purpose of this article is to identify factors determining wage differentials and to measure wage inequality in managerial and professional occupations. Using unit-level records of periodic labour force survey (PLFS) published by the National Sample Survey Office (NSSO), we apply quantile regression model to examine how wage distribution is determined by personal, household and labour market characteristics. Our analysis is limited to persons aged between 15 and 65 and employed in managerial and professional occupations. The findings suggest that rural–urban dichotomy, gender, technical education, social group, job contract, type of enterprise and enterprise workforce size are statistically significant across quantiles and are important in explaining the wage distribution of managerial and professional workers in India. From a policy perspective, the invigoration of gender-based measures coupled with the expansion of technical education and labour market institutions are essential for bridging the wage disparity in India.

期刊介绍： Studies in Microeconomics seeks high quality theoretical as well as applied (or empirical) research in all areas of microeconomics (broadly defined to include other avenues of decision science such as psychology, political science and organizational behavior). In particular, we encourage submissions in new areas of Microeconomics such as in the fields of Experimental economics and Behavioral Economics. All manuscripts will be subjected to a peer-review process. The intended audience of the journal are professional economists and young researchers with an interest and expertise in microeconomics and above. In addition to full-length articles MIC is interested in publishing and promoting shorter refereed articles (letters and notes) that are pertinent to the specialist in the field of Microeconomics (broadly defined). MIC will periodically publish special issues with themes of particular interest, including articles solicited from leading scholars as well as authoritative survey articles and meta-analysis on the themed topic. We will also publish book reviews related to microeconomics, and MIC encourages publishing articles from policy practitioners dealing with microeconomic issues that have policy relevance under the section Policy Analysis and Debate.
