Wage determination and the gender pay gap: A feminist political economy analysis and decomposition
基于马克思和女性主义理论，提出异端工资决定分析框架和性别工资差距新分解方法，利用希腊行业工资数据展示其与Oaxaca-Blinder及Brown-Moon-Zoloth方法的差异，并论证新方法能分别估计社会和个人性别工资歧视的影响。
Abstract This paper develops a heterodox analytical framework of wage determination and a new method of decomposition of the gender pay gap drawing on Marxian and feminist theories. The proposed framework utilizes two wage equations for the analysis of the gender gap: the first equation refers to average occupational wages and the second to individual wages as deviations from occupational wages. Using a data set for wages from industries in Greece, this paper demonstrates and explains differences in results between this proposed decomposition of the gender pay gap and that of Oaxaca-Blinder, and discusses the merits of this new technique compared to the Brown-Moon-Zoloth method. The authors argue that the main advantage of this proposed method of decomposition over the other two methods is that the proposed method allows for separate estimates of the impact of social and individual gender wage discrimination on the gender pay gap.
