No 1, Discussion Paper Series from School of Economics, Kwansei Gakuin University

Abstract: This paper examines the effects of industrial concentration on employee compensation including fringe benefits, using data of Japanese manufacturing industry. The primary findings are; (1) concentration has a positive and significant effect on direct wages and on total compensation, but is not significantly related to fringe benefits per workers; (2) firm size has a positive and significant impact on wages, total compensation and fringe benefits, particularly so on fringe benefits; (3) unionization is positively and significantly associated with total compensation and fringe benefits. The analysis has ascertained the effects of Japan's employment/compensation structure, as well.
