Firm productivity, wages, and sorting
Lochner, Benjamin; Schulz, Bastian - 2020
Increasing wage inequality is associated with changes in the degree of labor market sorting, i.e. the allocation of workers to firms. To measure sorting, we propose a new method which disentangles the respective contributions of worker and firm heterogeneity to wage inequality. Inspired by...
