Abstract: Abstract. The study examines rising employer size‐wage effects in the Australian labour market between 1993 — a period when the effects of decentralization in wage determination was starting to be felt — and 2001 — after the effects of structural changes had become more fully manifested. The findings indicate that most of the increase in the employer size‐wage gap between large and medium‐sized employers can be explained by changes in returns to characteristics rather than by changes in the skill mix. In addition changes in labour market structure — perhaps associated with decentralization in wage setting — captured by the intercept coefficients caused the employer size‐wage gap to increase for males and decrease for females.
