abstract: 'In this paper, we examine changes in wage structure and wage premia
|
|
|
|
during Vietnam''s transition from command to market economy. Relative to
|
|
|
|
other work in this literature, our paper is unique in that we identify
|
|
|
|
the policies that lead to such changes. By examining skill premium
|
|
|
|
trends along the two dimensions of particular importance to the
|
|
|
|
transition state or non-state firms, and traded or non-traded industries
|
|
|
|
we are able to separate the contribution of external liberalization to
|
|
|
|
wage growth and rising skill premia from that of domestic labor market
|
|
|
|
reforms, and to examine potential interactions between the two types of
|
|
|
|
reform. The results point to the high cost of incomplete reform in
|
|
|
|
Vietnam. Capital market segmentation creates a two-track market for
|
|
|
|
skills, in which state sector workers earn high salaries while non-state
|
|
|
|
workers face lower demand and lower compensation. Growth is reduced
|
|
|
|
directly by diminished allocative efficiency and reduced incentives to
|
|
|
|
acquire education, and indirectly by higher wage inequality and rents
|
|
|
|
for workers with access to state jobs. (C) 2013 Association for
