Does layoff risk explain the firm-size wage differential?

Rudolf Winter-Ebmer

Applied Economics Letters, 1995, vol. 2, issue 7, 211-214

Abstract: If less stable (and also less able) workers select themselves into small, unstable and lowpaying firms, predicted layoff risk of workers can be used as a proxy for heterogeneity of workers and should therefore be included in wage regressions. Doing this, one third of the size earnings premium can be explained.
