瑞典的工人数据与公司的资产负债表报告相匹配，用于检查工资与公司支付能力之间的关系。结果表明，有经验的和受过高等教育的工人被归类为有利可图的公司。在控制了工人质量、努力监督程度、工作特征、当地失业率、企业雇佣历史和雇主规模等因素后，工资与利润和资本-劳动比率呈正相关。莱斯特的“工资范围”由于租金共享约为瑞典平均工资的12%-24%，这接近美国和英国的估计。
Swedish data on workers matched with firms' balance-sheet reports are used to examine the relation between wages and firms' ability to pay. Results indicate that experienced and highly educated workers are sorted into profitable firms. Wages are positively correlated with profits and the capital-labor ratio, after controlling for worker quality, degree of effort supervision, job characteristics, local unemployment, firms' employment history, and employer size. Lester's "range of pay" due to rent sharing is around 12%-24% of the mean wage in Sweden, which is close to the estimates for the United States and United Kingdom.
