The determinants of earnings among low‐income workers in Bombay: An analysis of panel data
利用孟买两个露宿社区和两个贫民窟的面板数据，估计了低收入工人收入的决定因素，发现年龄和教育显著，但工作相关变量比标准人力资本变量更重要。
This article estimates the determinants of earnings among workers in low income settlements of Bombay. It uses panel data on workers in two homeless (pavement‐dwelling) communities and two slum communities. The estimated earnings functions, adjusted for community‐ and time‐specific fixed effects, show a good fit. Age and education are significant in all the regressions; however, some of the job‐related variables appear to be more important than the standard human capital variables in determining earnings. In conclusion, while a complex set of factors seem to determine earnings of workers in low‐income communities, institutional factors play an important role.
