Abstract
Abstract:Des données administratives appariées employeur-employé tirées du Fichier de données longitudinales sur la main-d’œuvre de Statistique Canada, qui s’étendent sur presque trente ans, de 1991 à 2019, nous permettent d’analyser l’évolution de l’inégalité des gains entre les entreprises du secteur commercial au Canada et à l’intérieur de ces entreprises. Un modèle économétrique tenant compte des effets fixes des travailleurs et des entreprises suggère une inégalité croissante entre les entreprises, attribuable principalement à la disparité de leurs gains moyens et à l’évolution de la composition de leur main-d’œuvre respective.Abstract:Using almost three decades of administrative matched employer-employee data from Statistics Canada’s Longitudinal Worker File from 1991 to 2019, we analyze the evolution of earnings inequality between and within firms in Canada’s commercial sector. An econometric model controlling for worker and firm fixed effects suggests increasing inequality which has been predominantly driven by average earnings disparities between firms and changing composition of workers between firms.

Canadian Public Policy is Canada"s foremost journal examining economic and social policy. The aim of the journal is to stimulate research and discussion of public policy problems in Canada. It is directed at a wide readership including decision makers and advisers in business organizations and governments, and policy researchers in private institutions and universities. Because of the interdisciplinary nature of many public policy issues, the contents of each volume aim to be representative of various disciplines involved in public policy issues.
