  • Description: Fairness and equity considerations may influence workers' decision to stay or quit their jobs. This paper tests several hypotheses derived from theory on the relation between intra-firm equity and employee retention. It uses administrative data covering the universe of urban firms in Colombia between 2008 and 2016. The average wage of the firm, the intra-firm dispersion of real wage adjustments, and the share of women in the firm are significantly associated with retention rates in the directions predicted by theory. The intra-firm wage gap is directly associated with retention, at odds with theory. The results suggest that equity considerations are important in employees' decision to stay or quit.
