- Olarreaga, Marcelo & Cruz, Marcio & Milet, Emmanuel (2017): Online Exports and the Wage Gap
The development of the internet is often seen as a source of demand for skilled workers and therefore a potential driver of the wage gap between skilled and unskilled workers. In this paper we focus on the impact that international trade in online platforms has on the wage gap. Because online trade allows smaller firms with relatively more unskilled workers to access world markets we can a priori expect that an expansion of online exports reduces the wage gap. After correcting for potential endogeneity bias in a sample of twenty three developing countries for which we can match online trade and wage gap data, we find that a 1 percent increase in the share of online exports over GDP leads to a 0.01 percent decline in the wage gap.

We analyze the wage gap between natives and these two groups in Germany. The estimates show a substantial gap for both groups with respect to natives. Discarding immigrants who completed education abroad reduces much of the immigrants’ wage gap.

RePEc:zbw:zewdip:7431 Save to MyIDEAS - Youngjoo Cha & Kim A. Weeden & Landon Schnabel (2023): Is the Gender Wage Gap Really a Family Wage Gap in Disguise?
Despite large literatures on gender and family wage gaps (e.g., the motherhood wage penalty, fatherhood wage premium, and the marriage premium) and widespread recognition that the two gaps are intertwined, the extent and pattern of their relationships are underexplored. Using data from the 2018 Survey of Income and Program Participation, we show that family wage gaps are strongly associated with the gender wage gap, as long assumed in the literature, but with important caveats. The gender-differentiated wage returns to parenthood contribute 29 percent of the gender wage gap. ... However, 36 percent of the gender wage gap is unrelated to these family wage gaps, and the gender wage gap among childless workers remains substantial. ... These results caution against focusing solely on the wage gap between “mothers and others†and suggest new directions for research.

In the case of gender wage gap estimation, those assumptions are specially tenuous because of high female non-participation and because selection could be different in different parts of the labor market. This paper proposes an estimator for the wage gap that allows for arbitrary heterogeneity in selection. ... Using CPS data from 1976 to 2005, I show that the gap has narrowed substantially from a -.521 to a -.263 log wage points differential for this population.
RePEc:iza:izadps:dp7005 Save to MyIDEAS - Napari, Sami (2006): The early career gender wage gap
In Finland the gender wage gap increases significantly during the first 10 years after labor market entry accounting most of the life-time increase in the gender wage gap. This paper focuses on the early career gender wage differences among university graduates and considers several explanations for the gender wage gap based on the human capital theory, job mobility and labor market segregation. Gender differences in the accumulation of experience and in the type of education explain about 16 percent of the average gender wage gap that emerges during the first 11 years after labor market entry among university graduates. Differences in employer characteristics between male and female graduates account about 10 percent for the average early career gender wage gap. ... The most important single factor contributing to the gender wage gap is the family type.

This paper investigates the gender wage gap in Denmark, the Netherlands, France and Spain by bootstrapping the Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition. ...

RePEc:hwe:hwecwp:2003-e04 Save to MyIDEAS - Luiza Antonie & Miana Plesca & Jennifer Teng (2016): Heterogeneity in the Gender Wage Gap in Canada
There is significant heterogeneity in the male-female wage gap depending on individuals’ education, income, and labour supply choices. Using data from the Canadian Census and from the Labour Force Survey, we document to what extent the gap in hourly wages gets compounded by a gender gap in hours worked, making the annual gender pay gap much larger. ... Furthermore, the wage gap is very small for younger people and it increases with age, even for single individuals, providing suggestive evidence for statistical discrimination. The male-female wage gap decreases with education, at all quantiles of the income distribution, except for a glass ceiling effect observable for the top 10% of the university wage distribution. ... We document a gender imbalance on the list, with twice more men than women making the list, but no substantive gender wage gap.

We estimate the impacts of accessing the subway network on the gender wage gap in China. The results suggest that the subway increases the wages of females relative to males. ... The findings also demonstrate that the subway reduces the gender wage gap among low-skilled groups, married households, and households with fewer vehicles.
