Exports and Wage Premiums: Evidence from Mexican Employer-Employee Data
利用墨西哥工厂和工人数据，研究发现出口显著提高了工资溢价（工人工资高于市场平均水平的部分），且这一效应几乎完全解释了出口对工厂平均工资的中期影响。
Abstract This paper draws on employer-employee and longitudinal plant data from Mexico to investigate the impact of exports on wage premiums, defined as wages above what workers would receive elsewhere in the labor market. We decompose plant-level average wages into a component reflecting skill composition and a component reflecting wage premiums. Using the late-1994 peso devaluation interacted with initial export propensity as a source of exogenous changes in exports, we find that exports have a significant positive effect on wage premiums and that the effect on wage premiums accounts for essentially all of the medium-term effect of exporting on plant-average wages.
