Compensating Wage Differentials: An Empirical Test of Their Existence and Impact on the Union/nonunion Wage Differential

Much of the previous theoretical and empirical work in the area of compensating and union wage differentials has failed to consider (1) several sources of compensating wage differentials simultaneously and (2) the impact those differentials may have on union/nonunion wage differentials. If jobs which tend to be unionized have particular positive and/or negative characteristics, empirical estimation of union/nonunion differentials which fails to consider these job attributes is subject to potentially serious bias.
