Firm‐Size Wage Gaps, Job Responsibility, and Hierarchical Matching
发现企业规模导致的工资差距随工作责任增加而扩大，利用瑞典和美国数据验证了这一现象，并指出层级匹配模型可以解释该结果。
I present the fact that wage gaps due to firm size increase with job responsibility. I use Swedish data to determine whether wage gaps increase with a direct measure of job responsibility, to compare the age patterns of the wage gaps for blue- and white-collar workers, and to compare wages by job responsibility and spans of control. With U.S. data, I compare supervisory to nonsupervisory occupations and find that wage gaps increase with job responsibility for most occupational ladders. This fact is consistent with hierarchical matching models in which the larger number of subordinates amplifies managerial talent. (c) 2009 by The University of Chicago.
