ABSTRACT: ABSTRACT: Tests for the efficiency wage hypothesis have proposed to use production functions to ask if wage increases can pay for themselves. Tests for rent sharing have used a profit term in the earnings function. In this note the relationship between these tests is investigated empirically. Evidence is presented for the Ghana manufacturing sector which allows a test discriminating between the two hypotheses to be conducted.
