Abstract
La estructura salarial ha cobrado especial importancia como objeto de estudio en la economía laboral desde la década de 1980. Desde el punto de vista teórico han proliferado los modelos sobre la determinación de los salarios. Desde el punto de vista empírico se ha constatado un aumento de la desigualdad, especialmente remarcable entre los trabajadores más y menos cualificados. El trabajo revisa los modelos teóricos walrasianos y no walrasianos sobre la determinación de los salarios (capital humano, diferencias compensadoras, salarios de eficiencia, modelos de internos y externos y modelos de negociación y sindicatos) y sus implicaciones para la estructura salarial. Utilizando datos de las Encuestas de Estructura Salarial de 1995 y 2002 (datos individuales sobre ingresos, características de los trabajadores, de los puestos de trabajo y de las empresas) se analiza la evolución de las diferencias salariales entre ambos periodos y se contrastan las principales implicaciones de los modelos teóricos. Los datos disponibles permiten contrastar la importancia de dos de las condiciones de trabajo -la duración de la jornada laboral y la existencia de turnos-, del tamaño de la empresa, y del tipo de convenio laboral existente. Por último, analizamos el efecto de las primas salariales sobre la antigüedad de los trabajadores.
"Wage differentials in Spain: data, theories and empirical tests". TEXT:Wage structure has become an important research subject in Labour Economics since 1980's. From a theoretical point of view, new models of the wage determination have been created. In the empirical ground, an important increase in wage inequality has been confirmed, especially between skilled and unskilled workers. This work reviews the walrasian and no walrasian models of wage determination (Human Capital, Equalizing differentials, Efficiency wages, insider-outsider models and Bargaining and trade union models) and their implications for the wage structure. Using data from Wage structure survey for 1995 and 2002 (individual data on earnings, personal characteristics and on-the-job and employer information) we analyze the variations on wage differentials between both periods and test the main implications of the models. Disposable data allow testing the significance of two working conditions -the working day length and working shifts-, of employer size and of the kind of wage agreement on wage differentials. Finally we analyze the effect of wage premiums on seniority.
