Abstract: | Labor economists have suggested that employee earnings may be relatively higher in firms possessing market power, such as
that which may stem from government regula-tion of prices or entry of firms. We test this hypothesis, which previously has
been inves-tigated in the context of industries such as trucking and air transportation, using earnings data for the cable
television industry. Our empirical findings suggest that cable TV employees capture some of the benefits producers receive
from regulations restricting competition. |
