Abstract: |
This paper estimates union/nonunion wage
differentials of male blue collar workers in the Korean manufacturing
sector taking the sample selectivity problem into account. The results
of this paper show that (1) workers in the union sector are paid more
than the equivalent workers in the nonunion sector; (2) there exist
different structures of wage determination in the union and nonunion
sectors; and (3) the estimated union/nonunion wage differential obtained
from separate union and nonunion wage equations differs from the
differential obtained from the coefficient of union dummy variable with
wage equations incorporating observations in both sectors. |
