Using normalized regression equations, we propose an alternative estimator of industrial gender wage gaps which is … of the reference groups of any categorical variables. The proposed estimator measures the pure impact of industry on … men and women. Furthermore, the proposed estimator is easy to implement, including hypothesis tests. We compare the …

In the case of cross-sectionally correlated errors, using a threshold estimator of the average squares of pair …-wise error correlations a test is proposed and is shown to be valid even if N is much larger than T. Monte Carlo evidence show … that the proposed test works well in small samples. The test is then applied to all securities in the S&P 500 index with 60 …
