我们研究了来自50多万家雇佣公司的100多万法国工人的纵向样本。我们将每个工人的真实的年度总薪酬分解为与可观察的员工特征、个人异质性、公司异质性和残差变异相关的组成部分。除了残差之外，所有分量都可以以任意方式相关。在个人层面上，我们发现个人效应，特别是那些与教育等可观察因素无关的个人效应，是法国工资变化的一个非常重要的来源。公司效应虽然重要，但不如个人效应重要。在企业层面，我们发现，雇用高薪工人的企业生产率更高，但利润并不高。它们也是资本和高技能员工密集型的。支付更高工资的企业，在控制人员影响的情况下，生产率更高，利润更高。它们也是资本密集型的，但不是高技能劳动密集型的。我们发现，人的影响解释约90%的行业间工资差异和约75%的企业规模的工资效应，而企业的影响解释相对较小的差异。
We study a longitudinal sample of over one million French workers from more than five hundred thousand employing firms. We decompose real total annual compensation per worker into components related to observable employee characteristics, personal heterogeneity, firm heterogeneity, and residual variation. Except fur the residual, all components may be correlated in an arbitrary fashion. At the level of the individual, we find that person effects, especially those not related to observables like education, are a very important source of wage variation in France. Firm effects, while important, are not as important as person effects. At the level of firms, we find that enterprises that hire high-wage workers are more productive but not more profitable. They are also more capital and high-skilled employee intensive. Enterprises that pay higher wages, controlling for person effects, are more productive and more profitable. They are also more capital intensive but are not more high-skilled labor intensive. We find that person effects explain about 90% of inter-industry wage differentials and about 75% of the firm-size wage effect while firm effects explain relatively little of either differential.
