Using Data

This article calculates the magnitude of wage differentials across industries in the organized manufacturing sector of India and identifies the major determinants of wage differentiation among the industries. Using data from Annual Survey of Industries in India for the period from 2000–2001 to 2015–2016, this study shows that mean wage is less in labour-intensive industries compared to the capital-intensive industries. The results of panel regression of annual average wage on various industry-specific factors show that productivity of labour is the most important factor in wage determination, and productivity largely depends on capital–labour ratio. The other significant factors in this regard are farm size, amount of profit and proportion of casual and female workers in total employment. Important policy implication of this study is that regulatory wage fixation and wage bargaining outcomes are not as significant as productivity differentials in explaining wage gaps across industries.

The U.S

This study develops a model of wage behavior for both union and nonunion workers in the U.S. manufacturing sector and tests that model with separate union and nonunion wage-change series covering the period 1960 to 1978. The empirical results support the traditional view that union wage behavior influences or spills over into nonunion wage changes but not vice versa. These results are of particular interest because they contrast sharply with an earlier study by Flanagan that reported an opposite spillover effect. Flanagan's results are shown to be quite sensitive to the choice of model specification and data period.

Nonunion Wage

Using extensive Canadian longitudinal data from the years 1969–71, the authors estimate union-nonunion wage differentials of 12–14 percent for 1969 and 13–16 percent for 1970. These estimates are not adjusted for selectivity because three different tests to identify selectivity yield no evidence of selectivity bias. The authors argue that although testing for selectivity is often essential, selectivity adjustments have resulted in greatly inflated estimates of union-nonunion wage differentials in some studies and should therefore be used with caution.
