Résumé : In this paper, we estimate inter-industry wage differentials with French longitudinal data allowing to follow both employers and employees and to control for bias linked to unemployment selectivity. We relie on the annual labor force surveys, conducted by the French National Institute of Statistics and Economic Surveys, that provide longitudinal data over the 1990-1995 period. Our major findings are : - in cross-sections, differences in wages for workers with the same measured characteristics across industries are substantial. These cross-sectional differences are very stable over time, and do not vary across different types of workers : industry wage structure is more or less the same for graduate workers and unqualified workers, for prime age workers and younger ones. - cross-industry wage differentials, very persistent through time, are mainly explained by unmeasured differences in ability and efficiency of workers : two thirds of the variance of cross-sectional wage differentials correspond to individual unmeasured abilities. "True" wage differences exist across industries, but only explain the remaining one third of the variance. They reflect transitory desequilibria and are quasi uncorrelated with the persistent cross-sectional wage differentials. - this result is not consistent with the noncompetitive hypothesis, and suggests that, beyond the sole wage dimension, the employer-employee relation has to be modelize over again. We propose a model where unobserved wage-abilities are also an asset that improves the match between workers and their firms. Ultimately, the persistence of the inter-industry wage differentials reflects the persistence of the differences between industries with high potential of stable jobs, on the one hand, and industries where the potential matchings are far more unstable, on the other hand.
