The goal of this thesis is to investigate the change of male banking workers’ wage structure of private banks in Taiwan during 1981-2004. Moreover, we use the wage frontier regression approach to estimate the degree of shortfall between the wage payment and what they could earn assuming perfect or costless information in the labor market. The empirical results show that all the human-capital related variables in the model are significant. The effects on wage distribution, either for educational inputs or accumulation of working experiences are relatively significant, which is consistent with the findings of Mincer (1991).Furthermore, among all the incomplete information variables of labor market, we’ve found that the variable settings about firm sizes, job titles and commercial-related major have no significant effects on wage distributions. Also, marital status, tenure year, residential location caused negative impact on the wage distributions significantly, The results indicate that workers’ wage payment fall short of potential wage, and marital status, tenure year, residential location will reduce the degree of shortfall between the wage payment and what they could earn assuming perfect or costless information in the labor market.
