A Theory of Wage Distribution and Wage Dynamics with Assignment and Pareto Learning
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper develops a model of wage distribution and wage dynamics based on assignment and Pareto learning. The model matches a large number of key facts about wage distribution and wage dynamics. The tractability of Pareto learning allows us to derive joint implications on the wage distribution and wage dynamics as assignment becomes more important. Our model also provides a natural framework for decomposing the earning variance into a permanent component and a transitory one, and it helps explain why the growing importance in assignment can lead to both higher wage inequality and higher wage instability.

Job Matching and the Wage Distribution∗
We present a synthesis between the microeconomic-labor and the macroeconomicequilibrium views of matching in labor markets. We nest a job matching model à la Jovanovic (1984) into a Mortensen and Pissarides (1994)-type equilibrium search environment. The resulting framework preserves the implications of job matching theory for worker turnover and wage dynamics, while allowing for aggregation an...
متن کاملWage Inequality in Developing Countries: An Examination of New Economic Geography Theory
The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors affecting the manufacturing industry wage among selected developing countries based on new economic geography theory. More specifically, we use a panel data model to study the spatial structure of wages in 136 countries for the period 1998-2007. The results indicate that this theory provides a good description of the spatial structure of w...

Abstract It’s necessary to analyze the contexts and the reasons of fair wage occurrence, which itself entail the critique of marginal revenue productivity theory of wage; In addition, it’s crucial to describe the role of fair wage in refining the productivity and organizing the labor relations. In this vein, the present article, through analytical, descriptive and content analysis method...
متن کاملThe Effect of Minimum Wage on Iran's Macroeconomic Variables in The Framework of a Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium Model
In this paper ,in order to investigate the economic effects of the minimum wage policy on macroeconomic variables in the framework of the new Keynesian theory, a dynamic stochastic equilibrium general (DSGE) model has been simulated and estimated for an open and small oil exporter economy conforming with the structure of Iran's economy in the range from 1370 to 1395 .In the above mentioned mode...
متن کاملIdentification of Search Models using Record Statistics∗
This paper shows how record-value theory, a branch of statistics that deals with the timing and magnitude of extreme values in sequences of random variables, can be used to nonparametrically identify the offer distribution of wages workers face. Using NLSY wage data, I show that the data supports the hypothesis that the wage offer distribution is Pareto but rejects that it is lognormal. In addi...
