“…Key contributions includeDavis and Haltiwanger (1990, 1992 andHamermesh et al (1996).2 The only exception that our search of the literature revealed isRoberts (1996).3 Robertson and Dutkowsky (2002) find, for example, that worker adjustment costs in Mexico are an order of magnitude smaller than in the United States.4 Davis and Haltiwanger (1998) offer twelve additional reasons why it is important to understand gross worker and job flows.5 For more detail about how adjustment costs may matter for Mexican firms and workers, seeKaplan et al (2005).6 Although debated, a positive link between firm size and access to credit seems to pervade the literature. SeeGertler and Gilchrist (1994) for an example.7 For example, seeRoberts (1991) orMarcouiller, Ruiz de Castilla, and Woodruff (1997).…”

“…2 Linked employer-employee data sets exist for Algeria (Chennouf, Levy and Montmarquette 1997), Zimbabwe (Velenchik 1997), Guatemala (Funkhouser 1998), Peru (Schaffner 1998), Morocco and Tunisia (Destre and Nordman 2002), Slovenia (Haltiwanger and Vodopivec 2003), Colombia (as mentioned in Abowd, Haltiwanger and Lane 2004), Bulgaria (Dobbelaere 2004), and Mexico (Kaplan, Martinez Gonzalez and Robertson 2005). Few data exhibit as rich a set of variables and as comprehensive employer and employee coverage as does RAIS in Brazil.…”

We employ comprehensive linked employer-employee data for Brazil to analyze wage determinants and compare results to Abowd et al. (2001) for French and U.S. manufacturing. While returns to human capital in Brazilian manufacturing exceed those of the other countries, occupation and gender differentials are similar. The worker-characteristics component accounts for much of the greater wage inequality in Brazil, but the establishment-fixed component has scant explanatory power. Thus, firm- or industry-level factors offer little scope for explaining the differences in wage inequality. Brazil's wage structure resembles that of France, a country with some similarity in labor market institutions.

Trade and Wages: Two Puzzles from Mexico

Mexico plays an important role in the developing-country trade-liberalisation literature because it liberalised early and extensively. Numerous papers analysed changes in Mexican wage levels and inequality after Mexico joined the GATT in 1986. This paper reviews recent papers that analyse changes in wage levels and inequality since the North American Free Trade Agreement in 1994. Two main puzzles emerge. First, wage growth rates are similar before and after NAFTA. Second, Mexican wage inequality, which received much attention after its post-GATT rise, falls steadily after NAFTA. This paper reviews several possible explanations for these two phenomena. Copyright 2007 The Author Journal compilation 2007 Blackwell Publishing Ltd .
