Efficiency wages and rent sharing: a note and some empirical findings

Tests for the efficiency wage hypothesis have proposed to use production functions to ask if wage increases can pay for themselves. Tests for rent sharing have used a profit term in the earnings function. In this note the relationship between these tests is investigated empirically. Evidence is presented for the Ghana manufacturing sector which allows a test discriminating between the two hypotheses to be conducted.
