中文摘要
同工同酬法律越来越多地要求，具有不同群体身份、从事"相似"工作的工人在企业内部应获得相同工资。我们从理论上研究此类"相似工作同酬"（EPSW）政策，并利用2009年智利一项基于性别的 EPSW 政策的证据，对模型的预测进行实证检验。在 EPSW 政策下，企业按性别对其劳动力进行隔离。当一个劳动力市场中男性多于女性时，EPSW 会扩大性别工资差距。（JEL J16, J31, J38, K31, O15）
Abstract
Equal pay laws increasingly require that workers with different group identities doing “similar” work are paid equal wages within firm. We study such “equal pay for similar work” (EPSW) policies theoretically and test our models’ predictions empirically using evidence from a 2009 gender-based Chilean EPSW. Under EPSW, firms segregate their workforce by gender. When there are more men than women in a labor market, EPSW increases the gender wage gap. (JEL J16, J31, J38, K31, O15)
