Rank Regressions, Wage Distributions, and the Gender Gap
提出一种基于秩的方法，将性别工资差距的变化分解为技能分布、工资结构和女性相对位置的变化，并用1979和1991年CPS数据在各百分位上进行分解，发现结果对参照分布的选择敏感，且女性相对工资提升可能加剧了男性内部工资不平等。
In this paper, we propose a novel rank-based procedure to decompose changes in the gender wage gap into three components: changes in the skill distribution, changes in the wage structure, and improvements in the position of women in a of reference. Using CPS data from 1979 and 1991, we perform the decomposition at each percentile of the wage distribution and show that the results are sensitive to the choice of distribution of reference (male versus overall wage distribution). We also find that relative wage gains of women may have been a source of increasing wage inequality among men.
