The Consequences of the Decline in Public Sector Pay in Britain: A Little Bit of Evidence
研究英国1970年代中期后公共部门薪酬相对下降是否导致新入职人员质量下降，使用10/11岁测试分数百分位作为指标，发现1990年代初入职的男性非体力公共部门员工测试分数低于1970年代末，女性则无此变化。
Following the fall in overall net public investment, the relative pay of most public sector workers in the United Kingdom declined sharply after the mid-1970s. For example, the relative pay of male teachers fell by over 10 percentage points from the late 1970s to the late 1980s. So has this generated a fall in quality? Using age 10/11 test score percentile positions as an indicator, we find that men entering non-manual public sector occupations in the early 1990s had a significantly lower test score position than those entering in the late 1970s. No such falls were exhibited by women.
