本文使用1983年全国青年男性纵向调查和当前人口调查的数据来检验工资、公司规模和工厂规模之间的关系。我们得出了三个关键发现。首先，一旦我们控制了雇员少于1,000人的公司的公司规模，工厂规模对工资的独立影响就很小；其次，我们发现了根据公司规模中可观察到的和未观察到的能力特征进行排序的证据。受过更好教育、更稳定的工人在大公司工作。第三，第一差估计的结果表明，当考虑所有公司时，大约60%的工资规模效应是由于未观察到的异质性，当考虑到拥有25名或更多员工的公司时，大约100%。
This paper uses data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Young Men and the Current Population Survey for 1983 to examine the relationships among wages, firm size, and plant size. We reach three key findings. First, plant size has little independent effect on wages once we have controlled for firm size for firms with fewer than 1,000 employees, Second, we find evidence of sorting on observed and unobserved ability characteristics across firm sizes. Better educated and more stable workers are in larger firms. Third, results from a first-difference estimator indicate that about 60 percent of the wage-size effect is due to unobserved heterogeneity when all firms are considered and about 100 percent when firms with 25 or more employees are considered.
