Compensation System Design, Employment and Firm Performance:An Analyis of French Microdata and a Comparison to the U.S.A

本课题的目的是在寻租型员工存在的情况下，对有效合同、劳动力需求、代理关系、投资等现有模型进行实证研究。这项研究的一个主要创新是使用法国的微观数据进行分析，使用一系列计算机文件，允许同时分析个人雇员，机构和企业。对于雇员，可获得薪酬信息和技能措施。对于企业，可获得各种职业、行业的就业和报酬水平、报酬和收入信息。对于企业，可以获得详细的财务、就业和投资信息。这项研究是重要的，因为它将提供一个详细和全面的总结之间的关系的各个组成部分的薪酬制度设计，就业在不同的技能水平和企业业绩的基本措施。此外，由于PI分析了美国和加拿大公司的类似数据，因此将努力估计一些直接可比的模型。这将直接有助于正在进行的调查，以建立谈判工资率和由此产生的就业需求的适当框架。

The purpose of this project is to develop a series of empirical studies that implement existing models of efficient contracting, labor demand, agency relationships, and investment in the presence of rent-seeking employees. A major innovation in this study is the use of French microdata to be analyzed using a collection of computer files that allow for simultaneous analysis of individual employees, establishments, and enterprises. For the employees, compensation information and skill measures are available. For establishments, employment and compensation levels in various occupations, industry, compensation and information on revenues are available. For enterprises, detailed financial, employment and investment information are available. This research is important because it will provide a detailed and comprehensive summary of the relations among the various components of compensation system design, employment at various skill levels and fundamental measures of firm performance. In addition, because the PI has analyzed similar data for US and Canadian companies, an effort will be made to estimate some models that are directly comparable. This should contribute directly to the ongoing inquiry as to the appropriate framework for modeling negotiated wage rates and the resulting employment demand.
