We argue that skill-biased technological change not only affects wage gaps between skill groups, but also increases wage inequality within skill groups, across workers in different workplaces. Building on a heterogeneous firm framework with labor market frictions, we show that an industry-wide...

We consider how firms' organization of production relates to workers' wages. Using matched employer-employee data from Portugal, we document that firms differ starkly in their occupational employment concentration, even within detailed industries, with some firms employing workers across a broad...

Wage inequality has risen in many countries over recent decades. At the same time, production has become increasingly concentrated in a small number of firms. In this paper, we show that these two phenomena are linked. Theoretically, we show that shocks that increase concentration will also lead...
