The Size and Sources of Economic Rents in a Developing Country Manufacturing Labour Market
利用截面数据和面板数据，评估工会、企业规模、盈利能力、所有制和企业年龄对发展中国家城市劳动力市场工资的影响，发现这些因素均影响收入，且盈利能力对工资的显著作用支持租金分享理论。
The potential sources of rent to labor in a developing country urban labor market are considered in this paper. The data set used enables the relative importance of unions, firm size, profitability, ownership, and firm age to be assessed on the basis of cross-section evidence. It is shown that all these factors affect earnings. A panel-data-based estimation of the importance of the profitability term provides strong support for a rent-sharing theory of wage determination in a developing country similar to much recent evidence for developed country labor markets.
