Changes in Managerial Pay Structures 1986-1992 and Rising Returns to SkillDavid I. LevineUniversity of California, Berkeley - Economic Analysis & Policy Group K. C. O'ShaughnessyWestern Michigan University - Haworth College of Business Peter CappelliUniversity of Pennsylvania Wharton School - Center for Human Resources; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER); University of Pennsylvania - Management Department April 1998 UC Berkeley Working Paper No. 67 Abstract: We analyze a database with information on wages and skills across firms in a sample of over 50,000 managers between 1986 and 1992. Our measure of skills and responsibility is an unusually good measure of human capital. We find that wage inequality increased both within and between firms between 1986 and 1992. Higher returns to our measure of skill accounts for most of the increasing inequality within firms. At the same time, our measure of skill does not explain much of the differences in average wages between employers, and changes in returns to skill do not explain any of the increase in between-firm variation over time.
