Intra-firm Wage Dispersion and Firm Performance
Personnel economics has put forward conflicting arguments concerning the impact of increased wage dispersion within a firm on the productivity of its workers. Besides giving more incentives, bigger wage differentials might also give rise to less cooperation and more politicking amongst workers resulting in worse outcomes. We try to shed light on these issues using panel data for Austrian firms....
متن کاملThe Dispersion of Employees’ Wage Increases and Firm Performance
In this contribution we examine the interrelation between the distribution of intra-firm wage increases and firm performance. Previous studies have focused on the dispersion of wage levels in order to examine for the empirical dominance of positive monetary incentive effects compared to adverse effects due to fairness considerations. We argue that the dispersion of wage increases rather than wa...
متن کاملIntra-firm wage inequality and firm performance – First evidence from German linked employer-employee-data
Economic theory suggests both positive and negative relationships between intrafirm wage inequality and productivity. This paper contributes to the growing empirical literature on this subject. We combine German employer-employee-data for the years 1995-2005 with inequality measures using the whole wage distribution of a firm and rely on dynamic panel-data estimators to control for unobserved h...
متن کاملThe Employment Effects of Low-Wage Subsidies
The Employment Effects of Low-Wage Subsidies Low-wage subsidies are often proposed as a solution to the unemployment problem among the low skilled. Yet the empirical evidence on the effects of low-wage subsidies is surprisingly scarce. This paper examines the employment effects of a Finnish payroll tax subsidy scheme, which is targeted at the employers of older, full-time, low-wage workers. The...
متن کاملAge, Wage and Productivity: Firm-Level Evidence

Our data are a matched employer-employee dataset covering about 70,000 firms in the late 1990’s in France. We find that productivity increases with age until age 40 and then remains stable ...
