Within-firm wage dispersion represents a relevant dimension of the overall wage inequality. A large stream of literature has analysed the wage-technology link without explicitly taking into account within-firm wage dispersion. In this work we aim to empirically investigate how technology affects...

This article investigates the relation linking single-employer bargaining and within-firm wage dispersion - a significant driver of overall wage inequality.
