这项研究使用一个独特的协调匹配的雇主-雇员数据集(1995年欧洲收入结构调查)，研究了五个欧洲国家机构规模工资溢价的规模和决定因素。这一数据集能够检验对工资差距大小的各种传统解释(即劳动质量假设、补偿工资差异的理论、监测和体制的作用)和较新假设(即工作稳定性和熟练工人集中度的大小差异)的有效性。我们发现一些传统的解释得到了支持，但受雇于大型机构的工人的工资溢价仍然很高。进一步的结果表明，这种溢价的幅度在不同国家之间有很大的波动，似乎与社团主义的程度呈负相关。
This study examines the magnitude and determinants of the establishment-size wage premium in five European countries using a unique harmonised matched employer–employee data set (the 1995 European Structure of Earnings Survey). This data set enables to test the validity of various traditional explanations of the size wage gap (i.e. the labour quality hypothesis, the theory of compensating wage differentials, the role of monitoring and institutions) and of more recent hypotheses (i.e. size differences in job stability and in the concentration of skilled workers). We find some support for traditional explanations, but there remains a significant wage premium for workers employed in large establishments. Further results indicate that the magnitude of this premium fluctuates substantially across countries and appears to be negatively correlated with the degree of corporatism.
