| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this research is to investigate how firm size causes institutional inequality of social statuses in the Japanese labor market. We reveal the following two mechanisms. First, people in large firms have better opportunity of skill formation and enjoy cumulative advantage in the internal labor markets. Second, people in large firms have greater stability in terms of within-group income variability.
