Description

"This paper documents the existence of exporter and foreign-control wage premiums in Canada and investigates whether or not these premiums reflect differences in firm characteristics and/or in the quality of labour, at both a national and a regional level of analysis. To the best of the authors' knowledge, no study has addressed these issues simultaneously in the Canadian context. The authors are able to do so by developing a novel employer-employee dataset that combines detailed information on manufacturing plants and the characteristics of their workers."--Document.
