This paper shows robust effects of trade shocks on within-firm wage inequality through changes in firm hierarchies. It uses two distinct research designs—one considering firm-level shocks to foreign demand and transportation costs, the other analyzing the Muslim boycott of Danish exports after the 2006 “Cartoon Crisis”. Consistent with knowledge-based and incentive-based hierarchy models, trade shocks affect organizational choices through production scale. Adding a hierarchy layer increases inequality throughout the organization, particularly widening the 90-50 wage gap and pay differences between top and bottom layers. Delayering after the boycott leads to wage compression through wage cuts, demotions, and employee turnover.

贸易冲击、企业等级制度和工资不平等

本文展示了贸易冲击通过改变企业等级制度对企业内部工资不平等的强大影响。它使用了两种截然不同的研究设计——一种是考虑公司层面对外国需求和运输成本的冲击,另一种是分析 2006 年“卡通危机”后穆斯林对丹麦出口的抵制。与基于知识和基于激励的等级模型一致,贸易冲击通过生产规模影响组织选择。添加层级会增加整个组织的不平等,尤其是扩大了 90-50 人的工资差距以及顶层和底层之间的薪酬差异。抵制后的拖延导致工资削减、降职和员工流失。
