Swimming with the Tide: Solidary Wage Policy and the Gender Earnings Gap
研究了1968-1991年瑞典工资压缩对性别工资差距的影响，发现工资结构变化对女性工资的影响随时间变化且部分相互抵消，行业工资差异对女性不利，而人力资本回报变化则缩小了差距。
This paper addresses the consequences of wage compression for the gender wage gap in Sweden during the period 1968–1991. We find that the effects of changes in the wage structure on women's wages have varied over time and have been partly counteracting. Changes in industry wage differentials have systematically worked against women, while changes in the returns to human capital and unobserved characteristics have contributed to reductions in the gender wage gap. Changes in the wage structure were particularly important between 1968 and 1974 when there was a dramatic reduction in overall wage inequality.
