Stoikov, Vladimir
- Abstract
The article presents information on the size of firm, worker earnings, and human capital in Japan. The problems that result when the homogenous labor input of labor market theory models contradicts the more nuanced findings of empirical research. Alleged interfirm wage differentials are adjusted according to labor quality to find if labor cost per unit is truly differentiated. The work of Leonard W. Weiss on the wage structure in the United States is briefly discussed. The methods and results of the study are presented, and it is concluded that no significant differences exist between large and small Japanese firm labor costs, respective of quality.
