Previous studies on gender wage discrimination have relied on OLS when estimating the wage equations. However, there … estimates for a number of reasons. Consequently, if we neglect this potential bias in OLS when estimating the gender wage gap … find overwhelming evidence that OLS seriously overestimate the unexplained gender wage gap. …
