Algan, Yann (contributor); Cahuc, Pierre (contributor) - 2005

Unequal pay or unequal employment? : A cross-country analysis of gender gaps
Olivetti, Claudia (contributor);  … - 2006
Gender wage and employment gaps are negatively correlated across countries. We argue that non-random selection of women into work explains an important part of such correlation and thus of the observed variation in wage gaps. The idea is that, if women who are employed tend to have relatively...
