The Phantom Gender Difference in the College Wage Premium
研究发现，通常认为女性大学工资溢价高于男性的说法存在统计偏差，修正后近十年男女大学工资溢价基本无差异，对劳动经济学和性别研究有参考价值。
A growing literature seeks to explain why so many more women than men now attend college. A commonly cited stylized fact is that the college wage premium is, and has been, higher for women than for men. After identifying and correcting a bias in estimates of college wage premiums, I find that there has been essentially no gender difference in the college wage premium for at least a decade. A similar pattern appears in quantile wage regressions and for advanced degree wage premiums.
