中文摘要

许多雇主将总部所在地区以外机构的工资与总部工资水平挂钩。我们利用涵盖全球1,200家跨国公司机构的新数据，以及其巴西机构的关联员工层面数据，证明了这一点。由最低工资和汇率冲击引起的总部工资变化，会部分传导至在海外同一职位工作的雇员。工资变化的传导似乎是直接的，源于全公司范围的工资设定程序，而非相关的技术或就业变化。“锚定式”工资设定在一定程度上与工作 × 雇主 × 总部—机构国家配对的特定特征相关。（JEL F23, F31, J24, J31, J38, M16, O15）

Abstract

Many employers link wages at establishments outside of the home region to the level at headquarters. We show this using new data on 1,200 multinationals’ establishments across the world and linked employee-level data on their establishments in Brazil. Headquarters wage changes arising from minimum wage and exchange rate shocks are partially transmitted to workers employed in the same position abroad. Wage change transmission appears to be direct and results from firm-wide wage-setting procedures rather than associated technology or employment changes. “Anchored” wage setting is somewhat associated with particular characteristics of the job × employer × headquarters-establishment country-pair.
