Social progress and corporate culture
研究社会对少数群体的进步态度(如禁止骚扰)是否会通过竞争扩散到企业文化中,发现当多数与少数群体间工资差距大时,进步文化会取代落后文化。
Abstract Social progress through improved treatment of minority groups (e.g., forbidding racial or sexual harassment) may or may not spread to corporate cultures through competition. We provide a theory of corporate culture, and we show that emergent, progressive corporate cultures can displace existing, regressive ones when the prevailing wage gap is large between majority and minority groups. The model provides testable predictions on racial and gender wage gaps across firms.
