摘要本文通过企业层级结构的变化，展示了贸易冲击对企业内部工资不平等的稳健影响。它使用了两种截然不同的研究设计--一种考虑了公司层面对国外需求和运输成本的冲击，另一种则分析了2006年“卡通危机”后穆斯林对丹麦出口产品的抵制。与基于知识和基于激励的层级模型一致，贸易冲击通过生产规模影响组织选择。增加层级结构增加了整个组织的不平等，特别是扩大了90-50的工资差距和顶层和底层之间的薪酬差异。抵制之后的拖延会通过减薪、降职和员工流动率来压缩工资。
Abstract This paper shows robust effects of trade shocks on within-firm wage inequality through changes in firm hierarchies. It uses two distinct research designs—one considering firm-level shocks to foreign demand and transportation costs, the other analyzing the Muslim boycott of Danish exports after the 2006 “cartoon crisis.” Consistent with knowledge-based and incentive-based hierarchy models, trade shocks affect organizational choices through production scale. Adding a hierarchy layer increases inequality throughout the organization, particularly widening the 90-50 wage gap and pay differences between top and bottom layers. Delayering after the boycott leads to wage compression through wage cuts, demotions, and employee turnover.
