The effects of salary history bans on wages, hiring, and wage gaps
理论分析薪资历史禁令（禁止企业询问求职者过往薪资）如何影响工资水平、招聘行为及群体间工资差距，发现该政策可能扩大而非缩小工资差距。
Abstract This paper provides a theoretical analysis of salary history bans, which prohibit firms from inquiring about applicants' prior wages. When salary histories are banned, firms cannot tailor their wage offers to the applicants' prior wages and thus offer the same wage to each group of workers. While this benefits relatively low earners, the wage gap between groups may widen. Salary history bans also affect (young) workers' behavior in initial negotiations, where they act less aggressively and demand lower wages. Finally, salary history bans are shown to reduce worker turnover, but to increase the hiring of younger workers.
