主题

Manager-Worker Compensation Gap in the Digitalized Era

摘要

We investigate the impact of digital transformation on the within-firm compensation gap between managers and workers in China during 2010-2019. Unlike previous studies, we characterize the overall and comprehensive progress of manufacturing firms' digital transformation by exploring their participation in a nationwide implementation of a digital transformation certification program during this period, and argue for the causal impact of digital transformation on the manager-worker compensation gap using a variety of techniques. The empirical estimations suggest that, holding labor productivity, financial performance, and other firm characteristics constant, (i) digital transformation robustly narrows both the relative manager-worker pay ratio and the absolute pay gap; (ii) digitalization reduces the compensation gap primarily by raising workers' compensation, which is achieved not by reducing the number of low-wage workers but by inducing firms to demand additional skilled workers and offer additional non-routine jobs; and (iii) managers do not appear to gain directly from digital transformation, but they can benefit indirectly from the enhanced current and future performance of their firms.
