Payment Schemes and Gender in Germany
利用1994和1996年德国企业面板数据，估计五种可变薪酬方案的决定因素，发现女性更多参与基于个人生产力和利润分享的方案，而非工作组生产力方案，这可能与女性对工作与家庭灵活性的更大需求有关。
The authors estimate the determinats of five types of variable payment schemes using panel data on German establishments in 1994 and 1996. Women were disproportionately included in schemes based on individual productivity and on profit-sharing, but not in those based on work group productivity. This pattern seems inconsistent with the claim that women are sorted due to their shorter expected tenure. Instead, the authors argue, the critical issue may be that women have greater need for flexibility between work and home than men do. Collective bargaining coverage and other industrial relations variables are shown to be influential determinants interacting with gender.
