I would like to know if you get more wages by working for the same company and asking for a promotion, or by changing jobs. What empirical research exists on this topic? I am not looking for anecdotes.

  I am not really sure why this is off topic and I don't have enough rep to cast a reopen vote. I'll commit the cardinal sin of answering in a comment instead because I read the answer just yesterday. "By changing jobs, by a long shot, and here's the Forbes article with the research: forbes.com/sites/cameronkeng/2014/06/22/… "

  see explanation for closing of the questions asking us to recommend off-site resource. It's at Programmers meta but looks applicable to this question too, "Asking a question that doesn't draw upon the community's expert knowledge... but rather asking it to be a crowdsourced search engine falls into this area... Asking for information about statistics, or more generally, asking us to search for some data for you is off topic because of these problems..."
