What is New in "New Structuralist" Analyses of Earnings?
批判新结构主义收入研究，指出其曲解新古典分析、大多只是重贴标签且证据支持不足，对关注收入决定机制的社会学与经济学学者有参考价值。
The substantial body of sociological research on earnings that has accumulated in recent years begins with the assumption that neoclassical economic analyses of earnings are inadequate because they (1) are not strongly supported by the evidence; (2) rest on several unreasonable assumptions; (3) evade falsifiability by attributing discrepant findings to market imperfections; (4) neglect power; and (5) do not recognize the significance of internal labor markets. Some recent research on earnings claims to remedy these defects and produce a superior and distinctively sociological analysis of earnings. I show that new structuralist research (1) caricatures the neoclassical analysis of earnings; (2) for the most part, simply relabels orthodox economic analyses; and (3) in central respects is not well supported by the evidence.
