Investigating the\u00a0role of markets in income inequality<\/strong> has led \u00c1lvaro Garc\u00eda, dean of the\u00a0School of Economics and Business Administration<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0from Universidad de los Andes, to work on the project \"Market Power and Labor Market Outcomes,\"<\/strong> after winning a\u00a0Fondecyt Regular grant<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The impact of dominant firms on the labor market is not necessarily negative, as is assumed in some circles. One way in which such firms could maintain their advantage over others would be to compete more aggressively for good workers, which could result in higher wages for workers in the organizations. The evidence suggests that employees earn better salaries in larger companies, but this example is only one possibility, and there are other mechanisms that need to be studied more systematically to draw definitive conclusions,\" explains \u00c1lvaro Garc\u00eda, dean of the School of Economics and Business Administration<\/a><\/strong> and researcher in charge of this project, who works with co-authors from Universidad de Alicante (Spain)<\/a><\/strong> , and Universidad de los Andes (Colombia).<\/a><\/strong>

The professor adds that labor markets are an important part of people's lives and that the possibilities for personal and professional development depend on their operating efficiently, rewarding those who deserve it.<\/strong> \"Market power erodes the potential gains of workers; therefore, understanding its scope is relevant to designing policies that improve people's welfare. \"In this research, we use internal tax administrative data covering the labor trajectory of virtually all formal employment in Chile. This makes the research findings<\/a> are more robust, since they do not depend on a particular sample, but on a relevant segment of the economy,\"<\/strong>Garc\u00eda explains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
