Gender Wage Gaps Reconsidered: A Structural Approach Using Matched Employer-Employee Data
研究性别工资差距如何由生产力差异、摩擦模式差异、职业隔离和工资歧视解释，使用德国匹配雇主-雇员数据估计均衡搜索模型，发现女性生产力较低、流动性更高、议价能力略低。
In this paper, we study the extent to which wage differentials between men and women can be explained by differences in productivity, disparities in friction patterns, segregation, and wage discrimination. For this purpose, we propose an equilibrium search model that features rent-splitting, on-the-job search, and two-sided heterogeneity in productivity. The model is estimated using German matched employer-employee data. Overall, the results reveal that female workers are less productive and more mobile than males. In addition, female workers have on average slightly lower bargaining power than their male counterparts.
