MIT经济学家达龙·阿西莫格鲁及其合作者在2025年发表于《美国经济评论》的论文中，通过追踪美国和丹麦近三十年的企业数据，揭示了一个现象：经济在增长，但普通工人的工资却停滞不前1。研究发现，美国普通工人的实际工资增速从1950-1970年代每年超过2%，大幅跌至1980年代之后的0.3%1。同期，劳动收入份额从1980年代的65%下滑到60%以下1。丹麦的情况也类似，其企业部门劳动收入份额从1999年的69%降至2014年的65%1。
阿西莫格鲁等人在这项耗时四年的研究中指出，这一现象的根源在于商学院理念的推广1。研究以波士顿工人汤姆的经历为例，他在一位哈佛商学院毕业的CEO接手管理后，五年内工资少拿了6%1，反映出新型管理哲学对普通员工薪酬的影响。
A research paper published in 2025 in the American Economic Review, one of economics' top-tier journals, reveals a stark disconnect between economic expansion and worker compensation in developed nations.1 MIT economist Daron Acemoglu, the 2024 Nobel Prize winner in Economic Sciences, and two collaborators analyzed nearly three decades of enterprise data from the United States and Denmark over a four-year period to investigate this phenomenon.1
The findings paint a sobering picture of wage stagnation. In the United States, the real wage growth rate for ordinary workers plummeted from over 2 percent annually during the 1950s through 1970s to just 0.3 percent after the 1980s.1 Meanwhile, labor's share of income in the economy contracted significantly, falling from approximately 65 percent in the 1980s to below 60 percent in subsequent decades.1 Denmark experienced a similar pattern, with labor's income share declining from 69 percent in 1999 to 65 percent in 2014.1
The researchers attribute this divergence to the widespread adoption of business school management philosophies, which they argue have reshaped corporate priorities away from worker welfare.1 The study includes a concrete example: a Boston worker named Tom saw his wages decline by 6 percent over five years following the appointment of a CEO educated at Harvard Business School.1
