Abstract: | This article aims to explore wage differentials between employees in three sub-industries of the cultural industries compared
with the main (1-digit level) industry to which they belong. We use data from the Wage Indicator Questionnaire 2001/2002,
which includes information on 12,757 employees in the Netherlands. We find that workers in these particular sub-industries
of the cultural industries are paid differently compared with their respective main industries. Workers in entertainment and
publishing and printing (P&P) are less endowed with standard labour market characteristics. However, whereas workers in entertainment
face negative price or evaluation-related effects, the opposite holds for workers in P&P. Workers in IT are more endowed with
standard labour market characteristics, but they receive lower rewards for their labour market characteristics. |
