Abstract
In this paper, I estimate the “Employer Learning Model” with a Japanese panel dataset. With this estimation, I would like to test whether Japanese employers modify their use of education for the evaluation of employees’ wages and whether wage disparity based on hometown exists in the Japanese labor market that is comprised of only a yellow-skinned race. The results of the analysis show that Japanese employers are learning about employees’ productivity, but the feature of learning is different than shown in previous studies. As employees’ tenures grow longer, the effect on wages of a variable, which can only be observed by econometricians (reasoning test score is used in this paper), grows bigger. However, the effect of the length of education remains, regardless of long tenure. Furthermore, wage disparity based on employees’ hometown is confirmed, and the employees from a hometown using a unique dialect tend to have low wages.
期刊介绍：
The aim of the journal DIALECTOLOGIA is to join the experiences of researchers working in different fields of Dialectology (linguistic variation, geolinguistics, methodology, synchronic and diachronic dialectal data, new technologies, social dialectology, etc). -It is a double-blind external peer-reviewed journal, published twice yearly, that complies with the norms of the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (FECYT). -Each issue features 4/6 previously unpublished articles on original topics relating to linguistic variation. -It includes also book reviews and news about congresses, meetings and recent publications. -Original papers will be evaluated within a period of three months. -The journal does not charge fees to authors either for processing (APC) or for the publication of articles. -The author will remain owner of the intellectual property of the works, however access to them is totally open and free, so they can be reproduced in whole or in part with the only limitation of recognizing the authorship and the source of publication ("Dialectologia. Revista electrònica"), provided that such exploitation is not of a commercial nature.
