American Employer Salary Surveys and Labor Economics Research : Issues and Contributions, Research Paper 9604

DATE: March 1996

PART OF: AUTHOR:

ABSTRACT: This paper reviews the uses of U.S. employer salary surveys for labor market research. Recent computational, theoretical, and econometric advances render these surveys ripe for exploitation. It summarizes theories of employer wage effects and then describes salary surveys and their preparation for analysis. Then, the surveys and the methodological issues they raise are contrasted with household data. Finally, the paper summarizes the techniques used and contributions made in some salary survey-based studies.
