研究了要求企业为从事相似工作的不同群体支付同等工资的政策(如智利2009年的性别同工同酬法),发现该政策会导致企业按性别隔离劳动力,并在男性多于女性的市场中扩大性别工资差距。

Abstract

Equal pay laws increasingly require that workers with different group identities doing “similar” work are paid equal wages within firm. We study such “equal pay for similar work” (EPSW) policies theoretically and test our models’ predictions empirically using evidence from a 2009 gender-based Chilean EPSW. Under EPSW, firms segregate their workforce by gender. When there are more men than women in a labor market, EPSW increases the gender wage gap.
