Artificial intelligence and intra-firm pay dispersion: Evidence from China
This paper examines the impact of AI on intra-firm pay dispersion using a patent database and a micro-database of Chinese A-share listed companies from 2003 to 2021. The results indicate AI adoption reduce intra-firm pay dispersion, primarily through its suppression effect on executive compensation. This effect is particularly pronounced in firms characterized by capital-intensive operations, non-state ownership, and coastal locations. While organizational scale expansion partially offsets AI's role in narrowing pay dispersion, task-based decomposition reveals AI exacerbates wage polarization by disproportionately reduces wage of labors specializing in routine tasks. Additionally, industry-level analysis confirms that AI amplifies wage inequality both within and across sectors.
期刊介绍:
The China Economic Review publishes original works of scholarship which add to the knowledge of the economy of China and to economies as a discipline. We seek, in particular, papers dealing with policy, performance and institutional change. Empirical papers normally use a formal model, a data set, and standard statistical techniques. Submissions are subjected to double-blind peer review.
