A teoria do salário eficiência : evidências para o caso da indústria da construção civil no Brasil

Mambrin, Diego Rosa January 2015 (has links)
O objetivo desta dissertação é testar o modelo de salário eficiência (shirking model) para a indústria brasileira de construção civil e seus subsetores. Esta versão do modelo de salário eficiência assume a existência de uma relação negativa entre salários e supervisão. A investigação empírica está centrada sobre a variável span of control (razão supervisores/ supervisionados) como proxy para intensidade de supervisão. Os dados utilizados para o teste de hipótese desta teoria são os da Relação Anual de Informações Sociais para os anos de 2012 e 2013. Como novidade em relação aos trabalhos anteriores, utilizamos os dados da RAIS em uma estrutura de painel de indivíduos para o período, controlando tanto os possíveis vieses de variável omitida (efeito fixo) como o de simultaneidade (span of control), bem como os dados referentes aos subsetores que constituem o setor da construção civil (construção de edifícios, obras de infraestrutura e serviços especializados para construção). Conclui-se que a hipótese de salário eficiência é corroborada pelos dados tanto para o setor como um todo como para seus subsetores. / The objective of this dissertation is to test the efficiency wage model (shirking version) to Brazilian civil construction industry and its subsectors. This version of the efficiency wage model defends the existence of a negative relationship between wages and supervision. The empirical research is focused on the variable span of control (ratio supervisors /staff) as a proxy for supervision intensity. The data used are from "Relação Anual de Informações Sociais" for the years of 2012 and 2013. As an innovation compared to previous work, we use data from the RAIS in a panel structure for individuals period, controlling the possible boas of omitted variable (fixed effect) and also the simultaneity (Instrumental Variable) as well as data relating to subsectors that constitute the construction industry (building construction, infrastructure works and specialized services for construction). It is concluded that the hypothesis of efficiency wage is supported by the data both for the sector as a whole and for its subsectors.

ESTIMATING THE CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCES OF GENDER WAGE DISCRIMINATION IN ETHIOPIA

Jemberie, Mulugeta A. 01 December 2017 (has links)
This dissertation assesses the causes and consequences of gender wage discrimination in Ethiopia. In the first chapter, we estimate the distribution of Gender Wage Discrimination in the Ethiopian urban labor market using quantile counterfactual decompositions. The literature generally finds a u-shaped distribution suggesting the presence of both a sticky floor effect and a glass ceiling effect. Using repeated cross-section data for the years 2006, 2010 and 2014, we find a strong evidence of a sticky floor effect but not a glass ceiling effect in the Ethiopian urban labor market. Our paper also provides evidence that there is substantial difference in the extent of discrimination between working in private and public jobs. Public jobs are less discriminatory for women relative to the private jobs. In the second chapter, we investigate the determinants of the gender wage gap in the Ethiopian manufacturing sector between the years 1996 and 2010 with a particular focus on the impact of the export orientation. This is done both at the intensive and extensive margin. Accordingly, we find that more export orientation helps reduce the firm level gender wage gap regardless of whether it is at the intensive or extensive margin. Our results also provide evidence on the presence of sectoral variation on the association between export orientation and gender wage gap. Export orientation doesn’t have a significant impact on the gender wage gap in the construction and housing goods sector. Segmenting the data in to two we also find that the impact of export orientation in reducing gender wage gap is much stronger for the period 2003-2010 relative to the 1996-2002 period. Finally, we estimate the impact of gender earnings differentials on the technical efficiency of the firm in the Ethiopian manufacturing sector for the period 1996 through 2010. We adopt a two-step time-variant panel stochastic frontier model using a translog production function. Our results provide fresh evidence on the existence of a significant negative association between gender wage gap and predicted technical efficiencies of firms. Further subdividing the manufacturing sector into four different industries, we find that the negative association is consistent in most industries. Our results are also robust to the inclusion of other firm level explanatory variables at the sectoral level.

Skutečnosti omezující výkon práce / Facts limiting work performance

Vomáčková, Kristýna January 2017 (has links)
The topic of the submitted diploma thesis are matters which restrict the performance of work activity as legal facts which cause a temporary suspension of work obligation. Therefore it interferes fundamentally into the labor-law relationship between the employee and the employer. As no employment contract is carried out, it brings along significant effects, especially on the social status of the employee. At the same time the employer faces difficulties connected with organization of assignments as well as increased costs of workforce. The author of the thesis strives for a comprehensive description of this issue. In the first part of the thesis she gets a understanding of general definition of obstacles at work and their consequences in the labor-law relationship. The impact of obstacles on the stability of the employment, trial period and vacation is described in detail. In the next part of the thesis the author deals with the current law concerning individual obstacles at work. She examines its necessity and up-to-dateness as well as the possibilities of future directions and changes of the law de lege ferenda. At first the attention is focused on important personal obstacles to work on the employee's part - in particular the employee's temporary sick leave, maternity leave, parental leave and...

Os determinantes da escolha da ocupação docente: uma análise do diferencial de salário do mercado de professores do ensino fundamental / The determinants of teachers occupation choice: an analysis of market wages differential for elementary school teachers

Marina Véssio Dessotti 15 March 2011 (has links)
O objetivo desta dissertação é analisar a diferença salarial existente entre indivíduos que trabalham como professores do ensino fundamental e indivíduos que trabalham em outras ocupações. Busca-se compreender se tal diferença está na própria profissão docente ou na formação desses profissionais. Pretende-se identificar se é mais vantajoso trabalhar na ocupação docente ou em outras ocupações, dependendo da formação do indivíduo. Para tanto, calculam-se diferenciais de salário controlados e não-controlados. Os principais resultados para os diferenciais não-controlados revelaram que trabalhar como docente do ensino fundamental é mais vantajoso para indivíduos que ainda não possuem ensino superior. Para aqueles que são docentes e possuem curso superior ou estão em curso (graduação ou pós-graduação), independentemente dos controles, a ocupação docente não é vantajosa. Já no caso dos diferenciais controlados, ser professor do ensino fundamental quase sempre é vantajoso quando se considera o salário por hora. / The objective of this dissertation is to identify the wage differential between primary school teachers and individuals working in other occupations. We try to comprehend if the differential is on the teacher profession itself or on the career chosen by these individuals. In other words, we analyze if the differential is on the education of these professionals. We intend to identify through controlled and non-controlled wage differentials if (depending on the education of the individual) it is more advantageous working as a teacher or in another occupation. The main results for non-controlled differentials showed that working as a primary school teacher is more advantageous for individuals who did not complete the undergraduate level. For teachers with higher education completed or ongoing (undergraduation or graduation), independently of the controls, the teacher profession is not advantageous. For the controlled differentials, being a high school teacher is almost always advantageous when the hourly wage is considered.
