The Phantom Gender Difference in the College Wage Premium
研究发现，在纠正估计偏差后，大学工资溢价在过去至少十年中几乎没有性别差异，挑战了女性大学工资溢价高于男性的普遍观点。
Abstract 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.
