Labor-Market Concentration and Labor Compensation
本文估计了2000年以来美国私营部门劳动力市场集中度对劳动报酬的影响，区分了本地劳动力市场和产品市场集中度，并考察了对医疗保险覆盖率的影响，发现劳动力市场集中度对报酬有负效应，且在产品市场集中度更高或工人年龄更大时更显著。
This article estimates the effect of labor-market concentration on labor compensation across the US private sector since 2000. The authors distinguish between concentration in local labor markets and local product markets while guarding against bias from confounded product-market concentration. The analysis extends beyond wages to rates of employment-based health insurance coverage. Reported results suggest negative effects of labor-market concentration on labor compensation. These effects are exacerbated when product-market concentration is higher or when workers are older.
