The Gender Gap: Looking at the Entire Distribution Journal of Interdisciplinary Economics published online (15 September 2020): DOI: 10.1177/0260107920938544. Also: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0260107920938544 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Sage Publications Keyword(s): Gender Differences; Modeling, Fixed Effects; Research Methodology; Wage Differentials; Wage Gap Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. We propose a new method of estimating wage differences among individuals from different populations, which is based on looking at the distribution of fixed effects from a wage regression. We use this method to compare males' and females' wage distribution at different levels of education and at different ages. In most cases, unobserved, time-constant factors increase the wage of males, compared to that of females, by a constant share. But this is not true when looking at the tails of the distribution. We also discuss the advantages of our method. |
