Promotions in the Spanish Labour Market: Differences by Gender
利用西班牙1991年调查数据，分别估计男性和女性的晋升次数计数模型，并运用Oaxaca分解法将晋升性别差距分解为禀赋差异和回报差异两部分，发现同等资历下女性晋升更少源于市场差别对待。
In this paper we compare the professional careers of women and men in the Spanish labour market. We use a sample from the Encuesta de Estructura, Conciencia y Biografia de Clase (1991) to estimate count data models (negative binomial models) to explain the number of promotions received in the firm, for males and females separately. Then, using the estimated coefficients from these models, we apply a variant of Oaxaca's decomposition approach to divide the gap in average promotions by gender into two parts: one of them due to differences in endowments and the other is associated with differences in the ‘return’ of such as endowments in terms of opportunities of upward mobility. The findings indicate that women receive fewer promotions than men with the same qualifications due to differential treatment in the market.
