“…While evidence on the source(s) of the differentials remains inconclusive, a strong link between industry differentials and industrial concentration (or profit rates) is found in all studies that search for it (Slichter, 1950; Garbarino, 1950;Reynolds and Taft, 1956;Dalton and Ford, 1977;Pugel, 1980;and Dickens and Katz, 1987a, 1987b), except Weiss' (1966 work. Krueger and Summers (1987) find that industries with high wage differentials have lower turnover and higher effort, consistent with the predictions of efficiency-wage models.…”

This paper reviews the literature on wage differences among industries and establishments. After surveying the empirical evidence on intra‐ and interindustry wage differentials, five alternative explanations for employer‐based wage differentials among observation equivalent workers are described. The paper concludes with a summary, a discussion of policy implications, and directions for future research.

“…Also note that evidence suggesting that concentrated industries tend to pay relatively high wages can be found in a wide variety of studies. See W. G. Bowen (1960), J. W. Garbarino (1950), M. Reder (1962, M. Segal(l964) and L. W. Weiss (1962). structure.…”

A Theory of Downward-Rigid Wages and Cyclical Unemployment

The theory presented below provides a rationale for downward wage rigidity and consequent cyclical unemployment by modifying the neoclassical assumption of behavioral independence. Such a modification permits an examination of important nonmarket relationships holding between the individual's wage and the wages paid to other people and between perceived equity in wages received and worker productivity—both linkages widely recognized by personnel managers but little explored by economists. The resulting model predicts a pattern of behavior that is consistent with the available evidence on the actual operation of labor markets.

“…(Bituminous coal, Class I railroads, and printing, Table VIII). (7) The distributive share of employees remained constant in the nonunion period. But the fact that building construction wage data of the twenties were confined to union wage scales in large cities casts doubt on findings as they relate to building construction.…”
