9611 Sectoral Wage Convergence : a Nonparametric Distributional Analysis
The large shift of U.S. employment from goods producers to service producers has generated concern over future income distribution, because of perceived large relative pay differences. This paper applies a nonparametric density overlap statistic to compare the sectors distribution of full-time, weekly wages at all wage levels. To counter problematic features of Current Population Survey data--...
متن کاملWorking Paper 9520 SECTORAL WAGE CONVERGENCE: A NONPARANIETRIC DISTRIBUTIONAL ANALYSIS
The large shift of U.S. employment from goods producers to service producers has generated concern over future income distribution because of perceived large relative pay differences. This paper applies a density overlap statistic to compare the sectors' distribution of weekly wages at all wage levels. A simple refinement yields locational information by decile. To counter problematic features ...
متن کاملDistributional Overlap: Simple, Multivariate, Parametric and Nonparametric Tests for Alienation, Convergence and General Distributional Difference Issues
This paper proposes a convenient measure of the degree of distributional overlap, both parametric and nonparametric, useful in measuring the degree of Polarization, Alienation and Convergence. We show the measure is asymptotically Normally distributed, making it amenable to inference in consequence. This Overlap measure can be used in the univariate and multivariate framework, and three example...
متن کاملOECD Convergence: A Sectoral Decomposition Exercise
This paper decomposes OECD convergence into contributions from sectoral productivity growth and contributions from employment shift across sectors. While productivity growth in services and agriculture contributed significantly to convergence, the contributions from employment shift and productivity growth in manufacturing are statistically insignificant.

متن کاملWhen the Minimum Wage Bites Back: Quantile Treatment Effects of a Sectoral Minimum Wage in Germany
In this study we investigate the minimum wage (MW) effects for a German sub-construction sector where the MW bites extraordinary hard by international standards. Within a quasiexperiment we estimate the Quantile Treatment Effects of the MW on the conditional and unconditional distribution of earnings. For Eastern Germany, the results indicate significant real (nominal) wage increases that rippl...
