The Employer Size-Wage Effect
检验了六种解释大雇主支付更高工资的理论，发现只有“雇佣更高质量工人”得到部分支持，但大雇主仍存在显著的工资溢价。
The authors consider six explanations for the positive relationship between employer size and wages: large employers (1) hire higher-quality workers, (2) offer inferior working conditions, (3) make more use of high wages to forestall unionization, (4) have more ability to pay high wages, (5) face smaller pools of applicants relative to vacancies, and (6) are less able to monitor their workers. They find some support for the first of these, but there remains a significant wage premium for those working for large employers. Copyright 1989 by University of Chicago Press.
