Three essays on the wage curve. - 106 p.

Adviser: Joseph J. Persky.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Illinois at Chicago, 2008.

My results suggest two points. First, Thailand labor market portrays very weak wage curve evidence. Second, it appears that the wage curve concept tends to be better suited for high population places, such as Bangkok, than for low population places.

520 $a My results suggest two points. First, Thailand labor market portrays very weak wage curve evidence. Second, it appears that the wage curve concept tends to be better suited for high population places, such as Bangkok, than for low population places.
520 $a To explore a relationship between firm size and the wage curve, the first essay, Firm Size and the Wage Curve, develops a motivational stylized story and tests it using data from the 1993 Current Population Survey (CPS) supplement. Ordinary least squares (OLS) and random coefficient models (hierarchical linear models [HLM]) were utilized to deal with hierarchical data structures between firms and employees.
520 $a Empirical estimates suggest two main points. First, and most surprising, under tight labor market conditions (i.e., low unemployment rates), wages in small firms are higher than in medium firms. In other words, the firm size-wage relationship is conditional to the local unemployment rate. Second, when firm size increases somewhat, the firms respond less to local unemployment rates; but when firm size becomes very large, wages again become more sensitive to unemployment.
520 $a The second essay, Geography, the Wage Curve and Labor Market Perception, explores geographical "local" labor market perception through the wage curve perspective. I utilized the relationships between level of geography and the measured unemployment elasticity of pay to understand local labor market perception or reference group. It is a puzzle to determine which geographical level workers consider as "local."
520 $a My results from this essay suggest three main points. First, the results show that utilizing multiple geographical levels to estimate the wage curve is most relevant to the wage curve in terms of comprehending labor market perception. Second, the unemployment rate at the local level tends to have more explanatory power than the unemployment rate at the more aggregate level. Third, high education workers are less sensitive to unemployment in any geographical level than low education workers.
520 $a The last essay, the Wage Curve in Thailand: Harris-Todaro or the Wage Curve?, investigates whether regional labor markets in Thailand exhibit a wage curve or follow a pattern more similar to that suggested by Harris and Todaro. More recently, wage curves have been estimated for a number of less developed countries, including India and South Africa, but not for Southeast Asian countries. Furthermore, Thailand is a good starting point to study the wage curve in other Southeast Asian countries.
