3 Motivation I US income inequality has been rising for almost four decades I Much research on inequality between groups defined by observable characteristics: education/skill, occupation, age, gender, race, and so on. Main conclusion: substantial rise in within-group inequality. I This paper: study the employer/firm as an observable worker characteristic: Between firms (e.g., top firms are paying better) Within firms (e.g., higher executive pay relative to average pay) Song, Price, Guvenen, Bloom, von Wachter Firming Up Inequality 1 / 93
4 This Paper Two questions: 1. How much of the rise in income inequality is between firms and how much is within firms? For bottom 99% : Almost all of it between firms: Almost all of it between firms For the top 1% : Almost all of it between firms up to 99.8th percentile: Almost all of it between firms up to 99.8th percentile 2. Why has inequality risen so much between firms? Large rise in sorting between firms and workers sorting between firms and workers Large rise in Song, Price, Guvenen, Bloom, von Wachter Firming Up Inequality 2 / 93
5 Outline I The Social Security Administration (SSA) database I Non-parametric results on inequality The bottom 99% Robustness (region, industry, gender, age, measures) The top 1% I More formal econometric approach I Why is this happening? The changing structure of firms Song, Price, Guvenen, Bloom, von Wachter Firming Up Inequality 3 / 93
6 The Data
7 Data: SSA Master Earnings File I Universe of all W-2s from 1978 to I For each job: SSN, EIN, and total compensation Total compensation includes: wages, salaries, tips, restricted stock grants, exercised stock options, severance payments, and many other types of income considered remuneration for labor services by the IRS. I For each worker: age, sex, place of birth, date of death I For each EIN: 4-digit SIC (industry) code, location We define Firm = EIN (same as used by Bureau of Labor Statistics) I No top-coding; no survey response error Song, Price, Guvenen, Bloom, von Wachter Firming Up Inequality 4 / 93
8 Building a US Matched Employer-Employee Dataset I MEF: Universe of US workers =) Universe of U.S. firms I Individuals assigned to firm where they earn most of their annual income. I Baseline: Firms with 20+ employees. Workers at those firms. Exclude government and education. Covers 1.1 million firms (about 18% of total) and 103 million workers (73% of total) and $5.4tn in wages (80% of total) Results robust to sample selection (All firms & all sectors) & worker assignment to firms. Song, Price, Guvenen, Bloom, von Wachter Firming Up Inequality 5 / 93
9 Firm Size Distribution: EIN vs. Census Firm (Log) Number of Firms SSA Firms Census Firms Employees Notes: Natural log of the number of firms in each size category are shown. Census figures count the number of employees at a point in time, while the SSA numbers count the number of FTEs over the course of a year. Song, Price, Guvenen, Bloom, von Wachter Firming Up Inequality 6 / 93
10 Total Payroll Total Income Over Time Total Income (Trillions of 2012 Dollars) SSA total NIPA Year Notes: SSA data includes all entries in the MEF. All data are adjusted for inflation using the PCE price index. Song, Price, Guvenen, Bloom, von Wachter Firming Up Inequality 7 / 93
11 Total Employment Total Employment (Millions) SSA individuals Total Employment Over Time CPS Total Employment Year Notes: SSA data includes all entries in the MEF. Current Population Survey (CPS) total employment shows the yearly average of the monthly employment numbers in the CPS. Song, Price, Guvenen, Bloom, von Wachter Firming Up Inequality 8 / 93
12 Number of Firms Total Firms Over Time Number of Firms (Millions) SSA firms Census Firms Year Notes: SSA data includes all entries in the MEF. Census firms shows the total number of firms reported by the Census Bureau s Statistics of U.S. Businesses data set. Song, Price, Guvenen, Bloom, von Wachter Firming Up Inequality 9 / 93

78 What is the Role of CEO Pay in Rising Inequality? As for wages and salaries... all the big gains are going to a tiny group of individuals holding strategic positions in corporate suites. Paul Krugman (NY Times, 02/23/2015) The primary reason for increased income inequality in recent decades is the rise of the supermanager. Piketty (2013, p. 315) I Policy: Dodd-Frank act (Section 953(b)): companies to report the ratio of top executives compensation to average wage in the firm.

85 Why Don t Executives Matter (Much)? I US Wages and Salaries: $6.9 Trillion I Wage income share of top 1 percent: 12% (Guvenen, Kaplan, and Song (2014)) 12% of $6.9 Tr = $828 Billion I Average annual compensation of S&P500 CEOs: $22 million Total income: $22 million 500 = $11 Billion I $11B Large firm CEOs account for: $828B of top 1 percent. = 1.3% of the total compensation I Bottom line: Top executives control too small a share of the top incomes to make a dent.

87 A More Formal Econometric Approach
88 What We Have Done So Far I A simple decomposition: w ij t = w j t + h w ij t w j t var i (w ij t )= var j(w j t {z } ) + Between-firm dispersion I Our main conclusion: i JX P j var i (w ij t i 2 j). {z } Within-firm jdispersion j=1 large increase in between-firm dispersion little change in within-firm dispersion, except at the top end for very large firms I Q: Can we go deeper into between and within-firm components? Song, Price, Guvenen, Bloom, von Wachter Firming Up Inequality 84 / 93

94 Related Evidence I (US, ) Rise in between-establishment dispersion of average wage in manufacturing tracks rise in wage dispersion across workers (Dunne et al (2004)). I (US: ) Rise in between-establishment inequality is 2/3 of rise in overall wage inequality (Barth et al (2014)). I Very similar results for UK ( ), Faggio, et al (2007) Germany ( ), Card et al (2013) Brazil ( ), Helpman et al (2015) Sweden ( ), Håkanson et al (2015)) I So, whatever the driving force(s) are, they seem global. Song, Price, Guvenen, Bloom, von Wachter Firming Up Inequality 90 / 93
95 Further Thoughts I Why are worker FEs getting (i) more dispersed across firms, and (ii) more systematically related to firm FEs (sorting)? I In our estimation, correlation between j and j goes from 0.12 up to 0.52 (by 0.40) over the period. Hakanson et al (2015): increasing sorting by cognitive and noncognitive skills in Sweden due to stronger complementarities between worker skills and technology. Handwerker and Spletzer (2015): Increasing occupational segregation in the US. Increased domestic outsourcing: Dube and Kaplan (2010), Berlingieri (2014), and Goldschmidt and Schmieder (2015) Song, Price, Guvenen, Bloom, von Wachter Firming Up Inequality 91 / 93
96 Conclusions I Rising in income inequality is almost entirely between firms. Within-firm inequality flat. True for very fine industry groups, across regions, and across firm size categories. Only exception: Very large firms. Within dispersion increased both at very top end and bottom end. I Rise in between inequality, not due to firm effects, but due to rising dispersion of worker FEs and increased sorting. I Evidence points to major changes in firms organization.
