长期以来，经济学家一直试图理解为什么大雇主比小雇主支付更高的工资。尽管进行了数十年的研究和分析，研究人员仍未能成功地充分解释雇主规模的工资溢价。问题之一是数据不足。大多数检验与规模相关的工资溢价的实证研究都依赖于工人层面的数据，这些数据几乎不包含有关工人雇主的信息，或者企业层面的数据，缺乏有关公司劳动力特征的信息。尽管最近的尝试利用了新开发的雇主-雇员匹配数据（Kevin T. Reilly，1995；Troske，1999），但大多数匹配数据集仅覆盖人口的有限部分，因此对研究结果的普遍性产生了怀疑。在本文中，我们使用最近创建的新工人建立特征数据库（NWECD）来检查雇主规模的工资溢价。与其他匹配的数据集不同，NWECD 包含有关经济体所有部门和地区的工人和雇主的信息。
Economists have long sought to understand why large employers pay higher wages than small employers. Despite decades of study and analysis, researchers have been unsuccessful in fully accounting for the employersize wage premium. One problem has been insufficient data. Most empirical efforts to examine the size-related wage premium rely on worker-level data that contain little information about a worker’s employer, or firm-level data that lack information on the characteristics of a firm’s workforce. Although more recent attempts exploit newly developed employer–employee matched data (Kevin T. Reilly, 1995; Troske, 1999), most matched data sets cover only limited segments of the population, thus raising doubt about the generality of the findings. In this paper, we use the recently created New Worker Establishment Characteristics Database (NWECD) to examine the employer-size wage premium. Unlike other matched data sets, the NWECD contains information on workers and employers in all sectors and regions of the econ-
