摘要

我使用德国制造业企业层面的数据（1995-2016）研究了劳动力市场力量如何影响企业工资差异。在过去的几十年里，劳动力市场的力量越来越缓和了公司之间工资差异的上升。这是因为高薪公司拥有高且不断增长的劳动力市场力量，支付的工资低于竞争水平，而低工资公司支付的工资具有竞争力，甚至高于竞争水平。随着时间的推移，大型、高工资、高生产率的公司在收取相对较低的产品加价的同时，产生了越来越大的劳动力市场租金。这为这些顶级公司为什么盈利和成功提供了新的见解。使用涵盖大多数经济部门的微观汇总数据，我验证了多个欧洲国家的关键结果。

Labor Market Power and Between-Firm Wage (In)Equality

I study how labor market power affects firm wage differences using German manufacturing sector firm-level data (1995-2016). In past decades, labor market power increasingly moderated rising between-firm wage differences. This is because high-paying firms possess high and increasing labor market power and pay wages below competitive levels, whereas low-wage firms pay competitive or even above competitive wages. Over time, large, high-wage, high-productivity firms generate increasingly large labor market rents while charging comparably low product markups. This provides novel insights on why such top firms are profitable and successful. Using micro-aggregated data covering most economic sectors, I validate key results for multiple European countries.

期刊介绍： The IJIO is an international venture that aims at full coverage of theoretical and empirical questions in industrial organization. This includes classic questions of strategic behavior and market structure. The journal also seeks to publish articles dealing with technological change, internal organization of firms, regulation, antitrust and productivity analysis. We recognize the need to allow for diversity of perspectives and research styles in industrial organization and we encourage submissions in theoretical work, empirical work, and case studies. The journal will also occasionally publish symposia on topical issues.
