Beyond conventional wage discrimination analysis: Assessing comprehensive wage distributions of males and females using structured additive distributional regression
Sohn, Alexander - 2015
In this paper, we propose a new comprehensive framework for analysing wage discrimination. This framework assesses wage discrimination on the grounds of conditional wage distributions (rather than just conditional means), regards the whole population (rather than just those in work) and employs...

Maternity leave and its consequences for subsequent careers in Germany
Franz, Nele Elisa - 2014
This paper analyzes the wage development of mothers interrupting their careers, in comparison to the wages of men who do not face a parental interruption. We estimate OLS regression models for different subcategories defined by age and point in time. We use data from the German Socioeconomic...

The returns to personality traits across the wage distribution
Collischon, Matthias - 2017
This paper investigates heterogeneous wage effects of non-cognitive skills across the wage distribution. I develop a model of wage determination under uncertainty with respect to individual productivity based on three components (minimum wages, productivity premiums, bargaining premiums). Based...

Robust estimation of wage dispersion with censored data: An application to occupational earnings risk and risk attitudes
Pollmann, Daniel; Dohmen, Thomas; Palm, Franz - 2013
We present a semiparametric method to estimate group-level dispersion, which is particularly effective in the presence of censored data. We apply this procedure to obtain measures of occupation-specific wage dispersion using top-coded administrative wage data from the German IAB Employment...

Sinkende Bildungsrenditen durch Bildungsreformen? Evidenz aus Mikrozensus und SOEP
Göggel, Kathrin - 2007
Die Bildungsreformen der sechziger Jahre sollten das Bildungsniveau der Westdeutschen anheben. Die Analyse der Daten des Mikrozensus weist darauf hin, dass die durch die Bildungsreformen intendierte Bildungsexpansion schon vor 1960 begonnen hat. Mit dem Conditional Mean Independence Ansatz...

Who is overeducated and why? Probit and dynamic mixed multinomial logit analyses of vertical mismatch in East and West Germany
Boll, Christina; Leppin, Julian Sebastian; Schömann, Klaus - 2014
Overeducation is an often overlooked facet of untapped human resources. But who is overeducated and why? Relying on … SOEP data 1984 - 2011, we use probit models for estimating the likelihood of entering overeducation and dynamic mixed … checks we use three specifications of the target variable, i.e. realized matches, self-assessment and twofold overeducation …
