AB  - Uses a data set from Guadalajara, Mexico, to investigate the
determinants of the wage structure of manual employees in the urban
sector of a developing economy. Focuses particular attention on whether
there is a significant difference in remuneration between permanent and
casual employees after allowing for the different human capital and
other characteristics of the two groups. Finds that, once a correction
has also been made for selectivity bias, a substantial wage gap in
favour of permanent employees exists. Also confirms and estimates wage
differentials associated with educational background and union
membership. However, finds no support for the idea that a large
multinational will pay wages above the expected level for a given type
of worker.
