Has performance pay increased wage inequality in Britain?
利用英国家庭面板调查数据，研究发现绩效薪酬（尤其是奖金）在2008年经济衰退前的十年中加剧了男性和女性的工资不平等，但对全职女性的影响较小，且绩效薪酬并未如预期般普及。
Using data from the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS) we show performance pay (PP) increased earnings dispersion among men and women, and to a lesser extent among full-time working women, in the decade of economic growth which ended with the recession of 2008. PP was also associated with some compression in the lower half of the wage distribution for women. The effects were predominantly associated with a broad measure of PP that included bonuses. However, these effects were modest and there is no indication that PP became increasingly prevalent, as some had predicted, over the decade prior to recession.
