Early-Career Work Experience and Gender Wage Differentials Journal of Labor Economics 13,1 (January 1995): 121-154. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/2535309 Cohort(s): Young Men, Young Women Publisher: University of Chicago Press Keyword(s): Job Tenure; Modeling; Wage Differentials; Wage Gap; Work Experience This article estimates a wage model that includes an array of variables measuring the fraction of time worked during each year of the career. This array fully characterizes past employment experience, regardless of how sporadic it has been. Our model yields substantially higher estimated returns to experience and lower returns to tenure than do models that measure experience cumulatively and use the standard quadratic functional form. Findings show that the data reject the standard model but fail to reject our model. Furthermore, findings indicate that 12% of the male-female wage gap is due to differences in the timing of work experience. |
