Abstract

This article provides evidence of rent sharing from orthogonal directions. Taking advantage of a rich matched employer-employee dataset for France, we compare consistently across-industry heterogeneity in rentsharing parameters relying on three different approaches: (i) the productivity approach, (ii) the accounting approach and (iii) the traditional labor economics approach. Focusing on economically meaningful parameter estimates shows that there exist differences in dispersion across the different approaches but more importantly that the rent-sharing estimates are within a comparable range.
