【报告摘要】
This paper investigates the relationship between within-firm information inequality and employee wage inequality. We use Glassdoor employee salary data to establish that, ceteris paribus, greater distances between establishments and headquarters lead to lower employee wages, particularly in firms with limited transparency and low industry competition. We use new airline route introductions as a natural experiment and find that reducing travel time to headquarters increases employee wages. Additionally, we demonstrate that employees working farther from the headquarters exhibit less accurate predictions of employer performance, offering direct evidence of within-firm information inequality. We also identify noteworthy effects on various forms of compensation and on private firms. In conclusion, our study sheds light on a significant driver of global income inequality and suggests strategies to mitigate these disparities.
