Decomposing gender wage gaps: a family economics perspective
提出将家庭经济学因素嵌入标准分解技术的方法,通过比较具有相似个人特征和伴侣特征的男女,发现该方法比传统方法更能解释美国调查数据中的性别工资差距。
Abstract We propose a simple way to embed family‐economics arguments for pay differences between genders into standard decomposition techniques. To account appropriately for the role of the family in the determination of wages, one has to compare men and women with similar own characteristics – and with similar partners. In US survey data, we find that our extended decomposition explains considerably more of the wage gap than a standard approach, in line with our theory that highlights the role of career prioritization in dual‐earner couples.
