论文摘要
我们通过将实际年收入分配的变化分解为构成,结构和小时效应的年度收入的年度对年收入的影响。我们通过不可分割的小时,工资和收入模型来做到这一点。使用1976 - 2019年调查年度的当前人口调查,我们发现女性分配年度工作时间的变化对于解释女性年收入不平等的运动很重要。这捕获了此期间其就业行为的实质性变化。男性小时分布中的运动仅影响其收入分配的下部,并反映了这些工人每年工作时间对周期性因素的敏感性。
We examine the impact of annual hours worked on annual earnings by decomposing changes in the real annual earnings distribution into composition, structural and hours effects. We do so via a nonseparable simultaneous model of hours, wages and earnings. Using the Current Population Survey for the survey years 1976--2019, we find that changes in the female distribution of annual hours of work are important in explaining movements in inequality in female annual earnings. This captures the substantial changes in their employment behavior over this period. Movements in the male hours distribution only affect the lower part of their earnings distribution and reflect the sensitivity of these workers' annual hours of work to cyclical factors.
