利用全国调查数据和概率模型,分析美国猪肉行业工资与福利结构,发现工资与技能、企业规模正相关,员工愿以低工资换取更好福利。
Abstract Pork production has evolved from relatively small, family‐run operations toward large‐scale operations with several employees. Important questions about the structure of compensation in this rapidly changing labor market are answered using probit and ordered probit models and data from a national survey of pork producers and their employees. The results suggest ( i ) the structure of wages in pork production is consistent with more developed labor markets; ( ii ) employees earn a wage premium for using advanced technology and working in larger operations; and ( iii ) employees are willing to accept lower wages in exchange for better benefits and working conditions.
