Abstract:
|
The paper investigates how a key wage-bargaining institution magnifies or mitigates pressures from growing international competition and new production techniques on growth in wage inequality. I have found that the extent to which industry-wide wage minima (wage scales) cover both high and lower-skilled workers affects developments in inequality. I conduct a series of cross-sectional time-series analyses using data from a recent unpublished dataset from the OECD (2002), which covers 14 OECD countries from 1980 to 2002. The results strongly indicate that the presence of industry-wide wage scales is a key factor in the evolution in wage inequality across OECD countries. |
