摘要

文章研究了用于衡量企业隶属于雇主协会(EAs)情况的数据的质量和适当性。我们发现,从法国的五个不同数据来源获得的隶属率存在巨大差异,这尤其导致我们放弃了税收数据。我们将重点放在调查数据上,结果表明,向经理人询问是否隶属于一般的雇主协会或隶属于特定的雇主协会列表,会导致隶属率的巨大差异,这凸显了调查问题设置的重要性。然后,我们提供了一些方法,通过对拥有 11 名或以上员工的工作场所进行调查,估算出公司层面的总体隶属率。利用(i)同一公司内不同单位之间关于EA隶属关系的相互矛盾的调查回答,以及(ii)在财务报表中报告向EA缴费的公司的调查回答,我们最终估算出错误地宣布隶属或未隶属于EA的雇主比例,并提供了修正了此类错误的隶属率。讨论了观察到的高错误率对计量经济学分析的影响。

Empirical challenges in the study of employer associations and their representativeness

The article examines the quality and appropriateness of the data available to measure firms' affiliation to employer associations (EAs). We find large discrepancies in affiliation rates obtained from the five different data sources available for France, leading us in particular to discard tax data. Focusing on survey data, we show that asking managers about affiliation to EAs in general or affiliation to a list of specific EAs can lead to large differences in affiliation rates, highlighting the importance of the framing of survey questions. We then provide methods to estimate an aggregate firm-level affiliation rate from surveys covering workplaces with 11 or more employees. Exploiting (i) conflicting survey responses regarding EA affiliation between distinct establishments in the same firm and (ii) survey responses for firms that report paying contributions to EAs in their financial statements, we finally estimate the shares of employers that wrongly declare being or not being affiliated to EAs, and provide a rate of affiliation corrected for such errors. The implications for econometric analysis of the high observed error rates are discussed.
