摘要

劳动经济学中有大量文献专注于建立雇主的劳动力市场力量模型,一般都能找到对垄断力量的非微观估计。还有一些较小规模的文献同时纳入了产品市场力量。Deb、Eeckhout、Patel 和 Warren(2024 年)就是将寡头垄断-寡头垄断模型应用于美国劳动力市场的一个例子,他们认为市场力量的上升会对工资水平和不平等产生重要影响。我支持将 IO 和劳动力结合起来,将其作为研究工资和企业活力的一种富有成效的方法,但认为应更广泛地研究:(i) 劳动力市场和产品市场中雇主权力的不同程度;(ii) 调查加价的动态来源(如通过创新);(iii) 考虑工资谈判模型,而不仅仅是工资发布模型,这些模型对工资设定有一些截然不同的影响。

A Comment on: “Walras–Bowley Lecture: Market Power and Wage Inequality” by Shubhdeep Deb, Jan Eeckhout, Aseem Patel, and Lawrence Warren

A burgeoning literature in labor economics is focused on modeling employer labor market power, generally finding nontrivial estimates of monopsony power. A smaller literature also simultaneously incorporates product market power. Deb, Eeckhout, Patel, and Warren (2024) is an example of applying an oligopoly-oligopsony model to the U.S. labor market, arguing for important effects on wage levels and inequality from rising market power. I support combining IO and labor as a fruitful way of studying wages and business dynamism, but argue for looking more broadly at (i) differential degrees of employer power in labor and product markets; (ii) investigating the dynamic sources of markups (e.g., through innovation), and (iii) considering wage bargaining models, not just wage posting models, which have some starkly different implications for wage setting.

期刊介绍: Econometrica publishes original articles in all branches of economics - theoretical and empirical, abstract and applied, providing wide-ranging coverage across the subject area. It promotes studies that aim at the unification of the theoretical-quantitative and the empirical-quantitative approach to economic problems and that are penetrated by constructive and rigorous thinking. It explores a unique range of topics each year - from the frontier of theoretical developments in many new and important areas, to research on current and applied economic problems, to methodologically innovative, theoretical and applied studies in econometrics. Econometrica maintains a long tradition that submitted articles are refereed carefully and that detailed and thoughtful referee reports are provided to the author as an aid to scientific research, thus ensuring the high calibre of papers found in Econometrica. An international board of editors, together with the referees it has selected, has succeeded in substantially reducing editorial turnaround time, thereby encouraging submissions of the highest quality. We strongly encourage recent Ph. D. graduates to submit their work to Econometrica. Our policy is to take into account the fact that recent graduates are less experienced in the process of writing and submitting papers.
