Empirica, 27(4), 353-364. https://doi.org/10.1023/A:1010985211714http://hdl.handle.net/10400.13/3896The emerging notion that corporatism/centralisation reduces inter-industry wage disper sion is the main leading force behind this paper. We use data from a long series of comparable datasets to analyse the evolution of the size of inter-industry wage dispersion in Portugal. We compare the results with the ones obtained in other countries to find that the country has a high inter-industry wage inequality when compared with the European standard. Nevertheless, the dispersion decreased during the second half of the 1980s along with the establishment of a neo-corporatist setting, supporting the expected reduction.engCorporatismCross-country comparisonInter-industry wage dispersionPortugal.Faculdade de Ciências Sociaisjournal article10.1023/A:1010985211714
