Britain and BrExit: Is the UK more attractive to supervisors? An analysis of the wage premium to supervision across the EU
研究了脱欧前欧盟各国主管人员的工资溢价,发现英国对主管的奖励高于其他欧盟经济体,且工资溢价随工资水平上升,加剧了工资不平等,超过10%的溢价取决于国家经济环境。
Abstract We studied which European Union (EU) economy was more attractive prior to Brexit for employees in supervisory positions. We estimate the extra wage that supervisors earn relative to their subordinates—the wage premium to supervision (WPS)—at different quantiles of distribution of wages for 26 European economies. We find that the UK rewards supervisors more than other EU economies. Moreover, the WPS increases with wage and so increases wage inequality. Over 10% of the WPS depends on the national economic context. We discuss the implications for immigration and policymakers in relation to the post‐Brexit process.
