What the paper says

This article reviews how some social scientists have transcended disciplinary boundaries in their scholarship on wage formation and proposes specific pathways for further trespassing. It contends that an interdisciplinary political economy should connect power to prices . This means that economists should bring power—including political influence and social status—into the heart of their analysis of wage formation, and sociologists and political scientists should extend their analysis of social structure and power dynamics to their endpoint in wage levels. The article concludes with suggestions for how to integrate political and/or sociological perspectives with economic models, both in theory and in empirical research.
