Efficiency Wages and Industry Wages Differentials : A Comparison Across Methods of Pay.

Efficiency wage considerations should be less important for piece-rate pay relative to time wages.

We test this proposition using wage data for male production workers employed in the Swedish metalworking industries in 1985.
