In equilibrium, all firms pay the same wage above market clearing, and unemployment makes job loss costly, and so unemployment serves as a worker-discipline device. [3] A jobless person cannot convince an employer that he works at a wage lower than the equilibrium wage, because the owner worries that shirking occurs after he is hired.
In the model, an equilibrium is reached when the expected wage in urban areas (actual wage adjusted for the unemployment rate), is equal to the marginal product of an agricultural worker. The model assumes that unemployment is non-existent in the rural agricultural sector.
The mean and variance of the function vary based on the data, whether the data is firm-level or employee-level data. The equilibrium of the hedonic wage function between employee wages and non-wage-related attributes for a particular job argues there is a minimal correlation to workers' preferences. [16]
These supply and demand curves can be analysed in the same way as any other industry demand and supply curves to determine equilibrium wage and employment levels. Wage differences exist, particularly in mixed and fully/partly flexible labour markets. For example, the wages of a doctor and a port cleaner, both employed by the NHS, differ greatly ...
Because workers are paid more than the equilibrium wage, there may be unemployment, as the above-market wage rates attract more workers. [ citation needed ] Efficiency wages offer, therefore, a market failure explanation of unemployment in contrast to theories that emphasize government intervention such as minimum wages . [ 2 ]
In equilibrium, high-skilled wages tend downward, while low-skilled wages tend upward, which defines wage compression. [ 3 ] Moene and Wallerstein (2006) argue that intentional wage compression led to a shift in favour of higher- productivity industries in Scandinavia, as it made low productivity industries less profitable and high productivity ...
The marginal revenue productivity theory of wages is a model of wage levels in which they set to match to the marginal revenue product of labor, (the value of the marginal product of labor), which is the increment to revenues caused by the increment to output produced by the last laborer employed.
The Mincer earnings function is a single-equation model that explains wage income as a function of schooling and experience. It is named after Jacob Mincer. [1] [2] Thomas Lemieux argues it is "one of the most widely used models in empirical economics". The equation has been examined on many datasets.
