Inter‐Industry Wage Differentials in Great Britain
利用英国家庭面板调查数据，研究行业归属对私营部门员工收入的影响，发现固定效应估计下行业差异大幅减小，且差异与行业盈利正相关。
The paper considers the determination of earnings of private sector employees in Great Britain, focusing upon the importance of industry affiliation in this process. Whilst cross‐sectional estimates, using waves 1 to 4 of the British Household Panel Survey, suggest industry status is of considerable importance, much of this variation is removed by estimating earnings equations by fixed effects methods. Estimated differentials are not inversely related to the steepness of age‐earnings pro(r)les in an industry, do not appear to vary over time and are positively related to industry profitability.
