The Response of Wages to Rejected Offers
利用消费者预期调查数据，研究发现员工拒绝外部工作机会后，其当前工资、雇主匹配外部高薪的概率以及工作满意度均无显著变化，表明外部选择权变化对个人工资的重新谈判作用有限。
Abstract Using the Survey of Consumer Expectations, which asks employed workers to report their salaries and job offers every four months, we find that rejecting an outside offer has no significant effect on a worker's salary with the current employer, the expected probability that the current employer will match an outside offer with a higher salary, and the worker's satisfaction with the current job, both overall and separately for wages and non-wage benefits. The results suggest that wage renegotiation in response to changes in an employed worker's outside option does not play a significant role for individual wages.
