本文使用德国制造业的雇主-雇员关联数据集,分析了出口企业在解释 1996 年至 2007 年期间技能群体内部和技能群体之间工资差距扩大的作用。分解分析表明,以工人技能水平为条件的出口商工资差距的强劲增长导致了工资不平等的加剧,而出口商在总就业中所占份额的增加则有助于缩小工资差距。由此产生的净贡献是正的(不平等增加)但适度。这些发现与最近的异质企业贸易模型一致,该模型的特点是出口商工资溢价以及溢价随贸易自由化程度的提高而变化。
Using a linked employer–employee data set of the German manufacturing sector, this paper analyses the role of exporting establishments in explaining rising wage dispersion both within and between skill groups in the time period 1996 to 2007. A decomposition analysis shows that the strong increase in the exporter wage gap, conditional on workers' skill levels, contributed to the growth in wage inequality, whereas the increase in the exporters' share in total employment worked towards a reduction in wage dispersion. The resulting net contribution is positive (inequality-increasing) but moderate. These findings are consistent with recent heterogeneous-firm trade models that feature an exporter wage premium as well as variability of the premium with respect to increasing trade liberalisation.
