Gender, wages and discrimination in the USSR: a study of a Russian industrial town
基于1989年俄罗斯塔甘罗格市调查数据，估计男女工资方程，发现低薪女性专业人员工时减少导致时薪相对较高，鼓励女性接受高等教育，但性别分工仍不平等且保守；工资差距分解显示强烈歧视迹象。
Male and female wage-equations are estimated from survey-data from the city of Taganrog in 1989, the first such estimates on data collected in the U.S.S.R. Reductions in working hours for low-paid female professionals, resulting in relatively high hourly rates, encouraged women to acquire higher education, while maintaining an unequal and conservative gender division of labor. Decomposition of the wage gap shows strong indications of discrimination. A wage-function estimated from the pooled sample (as in R. L. Oaxaca and M. R. Ransom, 1994) 'explains' a larger share of the gender gap, but does so because it disregards aspects of discrimination. Copyright 1997 by Oxford University Press.
