Gender-Specific Application Behaviour, Matching, and the Residual Gender Earnings Gap
利用德国职位空缺调查和行政记录数据，研究了女性较少申请高工资高灵活性要求的企业，但一旦申请录用机会与男性相似，且企业的灵活性需求补偿差异有助于解释剩余性别收入差距，其中母亲受罚最重。
Abstract This paper examines how gender-specific application behaviour, firms’ hiring practices and flexibility demands relate to the gender earnings gap, using linked data from the German Job Vacancy Survey and administrative records. Women are less likely than men to apply to high-wage firms with high flexibility requirements, although their hiring chances are similar when they do. We show that compensating differentials for firms’ flexibility demands help explain the residual gender earnings gap. Among women, mothers experience the largest earnings penalties relative to men in jobs with high flexibility requirements.
