We consider six explanations for the positive relationship between employer size and wages -- large employers (1) hire higher quality workers; (2) offer inferior working conditions; (3) make more use of high wages to forestall unionization; (4) have more ability to pay high wages; (5) face smaller pools of applicants relative to vacancies; (6) are less able to monitor their workers. We find some support for the first of these, but there remains a significant wage premium for those working for large employers.

We study how the hourly wage structure varies with establishment size and how wage dispersion breaks down into between-plant and within-plant components Our study combines household and establishment data for the U.S. manufacturing sector in 1982. 1) Wage dispersion falls sharply with establishment size for nonproduction workers and mildly for production workers. 2) Size-class differences in wage dispersion often mask even sharper differences in the dispersion of wages generated by observable worker characteristics and in the 'skill prices' on those characteristics. 3) In terms of dispersion in predicted log wages worker heterogeneity tends to rise with establishment size production workers are much more homogenous in the union sector, but only at plants with 1,000 or more workers. 4) Unobserved factors generate sharply greater wage dispersion at smaller establishments. 5) The variance in mean wages across establishments accounts for 59% of total variance. Within-plant wage variance among production workers accounts for a mere 2%. 6) Mean wage differences by size of establishment account for about one-fourth of the total between-plant variance of wages. 7) Between-plant wage dispersion falls sharply with establishment size, entirely accounting for the negative relationship of establishment size to overall wage dispersion. Guided by these and other empirical findings, we assess several hypotheses about the determination of the wage structure.

It has long been observed that large firms pay higher wages than small firms. This thesis investigates a favorite hypothesis that firm size-wage premium (FSWP) reflects better skills of workers concentrated in large firms. I use two datasets from Germany covering years 2000 through 2006. The first one allows analyzing the FSWP with unique controls for worker skills and job characteristics. The second one exploits panel format and allows controlling for unobservable personal heterogeneity entirely. The results show that labor quality cannot fully explain the size-wage differentials. Controlling for observable skills has a small negative impact on the size of the FSWP and controlling for unobservable characteristics reduces the FSWP by three-quarters. It is shown that the first method tends to overestimate, whereas the second method tends to underestimate the FSWP.

The purpose of this study is to test empirically a theory accounting for the fact that individuals working for larger employers earn more than individuals working for small employers.Building on recent research, the theory suggests that individuals hired by larger firms possess more impressive job search skills than do their fellow job-seekers and therefore earn wages that approach their maximum potential wage.An empirical model of observed wages is presented and evaluated in light of data from the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) 1994 Worker Representation and Participation Survey (WRPS).The nationally representative survey sample included 2408 adults who were employed in firms comprising 25 or more employees at the time of the research.The findings support the hypothesis: approximately 20 percent of the difference in observed wages across large and small employers may be attributed to differences in individual workers' job search skills.(SAA).

Recently developed effort regulation models argue that labor markets are segmented because of differences in the technology of supervision across firms. primary jobs pay above market clearing wages because these jobs are difficult to monitor. Secondary jobs, in contrast, pose no monitoring difficulties and therefore pay a market clearing wage. If, as the literature suggests, increases in employer size make supervision more difficult, we should observe that wages increase with employer size in primary jobs but not in secondary jobs. We test this hypothesis using a switching regression model. We find evidence of an employer size wage effect in both primary and secondary labor markets. However, consistent with the prediction of effort control models, the size effect on wages is considerably larger in primary than secondary jobs.

The strong empirical regularity of higher wages in large establishments seems to be ubiquitous. It was first brought to light by Moore (1911) and later confirmed by, among others, Brown and Medoff (1989), it prevails across countries and over time, across studies that span a broad range of industries and occupations. Yet, in the literature, the particular reason why the size of a firm should be a determinant of a worker's wage rate is still controversial. This research examines the size-wage relationship using the Institut fuer Arbeitsmarkt und Berufsforschung (IAB) employment sample over the period 1980-1995. Firstly, we summarise previous theoretical research and empirical evidence on the size-wage relationship.Secondly, the different theoretical arguments are tested empirically. The attempt to account for the size premium using observable worker and plant characteristics through level estimation meets with limited success. Size could reflect various unobserved determinants and it is generally argued that, the greater the possibility of controlling for these latent factors, the less likely that a significant size effect will appear; to control for constant unmeasured worker and firm characteristics, we apply fixed effect and first difference models. In the longitudinal analysis, the size wage differential is still sizeable and is quite similar to level estimates. We find that the wage change closely resembles the differential estimated in the level regression and pre-displacement plant size plays also a role in post-displacement wage determination. The empirical findings demonstrate that positive effects of firm size on wages persist after controlling for observed and unobserved worker and firm characteristics. They suggest that although each of the explanations of size-wage differentials can account for some of the observed variation in worker wages, none can fully unravel the observed employer size-wage differentials. In the end, the unexplained premium remains large and significant.
