Financial Markets and Wages Review of Economic Studies 76,2 (April 2009): 795-827. Also: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1467-937X.2008.00524.x/abstract Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Blackwell Publishing, Inc. => Wiley Online Keyword(s): Cross-national Analysis; Finland, Finnish; Firm Size; Firms; Rural/Urban Differences; Wage Growth; Wage Models We study a labour market equilibrium model in which firms sign optimal long-term contracts with workers. Firms that are financially constrained offer an increasing wage profile: they pay lower wages today in exchange for higher future wages once they become unconstrained. Because constrained firms grow faster, the model predicts a positive correlation between the growth of wages and the growth of the firm. Under some conditions, the model also generates a positive relation between firm size and wages. Using matched employer-employee data from Finland and the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth for the U.S., we show that the key dynamic properties of the model are supported by the data.
