Perceptions of Equity and the Distribution of Income
构建了一个模型，其中离职率和收入分配取决于员工对雇主评估个人生产力准确性的感知，解释了不平等与不平等被视为过度程度之间的跨国负相关，以及美法两国高学历高薪与低薪工人任职期的差异。
This article develops a model in which quit rates, and thus the income distribution, depend on employee perceptions of the accuracy of employer assessments of individual productivity because these latter assessments affect wages. When employees believe that these assessments are accurate, income inequality tends to be high. The model can account for the negative correlation across some countries of inequality and the extent to which inequality is deemed to be excessive. It also fits the contrast in U.S. and French experiences concerning the tenure of highly educated workers with high wages relative to the tenure of lower-paid workers.
