Britain and BrExit: Is the UK more attractive to supervisors? An analysis of the wagepremium to supervision across the EU. British Journal of Industrial Relations 61: 291–312https://doi.org/10.1111/bjir.12675https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14490/392We studied which European Union (EU) economy was more attractive prior to Brexit for employees in supervisory positions. We estimate the extra wage that supervisors earn relative to their subordinates—the wage premium to supervision (WPS)—at different quantiles of distribution of wages for 26 European economies. We find that the UK rewards supervisors more than other EU economies. Moreover, the WPS increases with wage and so increases wage inequality. Over 10% of the WPS depends on the national economic context. We discuss the implications for immigration and policymakers in relation to the post-Brexit process.enAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/BrExitEuropean UnionEuropean economiesArticle
