Evidence from the American Time Use Survey 2003-12 suggests the existence of small but statistically significant racial/ethnic differences in time spent not working at the workplace. Minorities, especially men, spend a greater fraction of their workdays not working than do white non-Hispanics....

We examine the gender wage gap in Austria using new matched employer-employee data from 2007. We investigate the gap at the conditional wage distribution of men and women, and decompose it into the parts which are attributed to different characteristics and different returns to these...

In Austria, a gender pay transparency law was introduced in 2011, requiring companies with more than 1,000 employees to publish a pay report every other year. Firms with 500, 250, and 150 employees were subject to this requirement at later years. We estimate the impact of the law on men's wages,...

We use the LASSO estimator to select among a large number of explanatory variables in wage regressions for a decomposition of the gender wage gap. The LASSO selection with a one standard error rule removes about a quarter of the regressors. We use the LASSO-selected regressors for OLSbased...

We examine the gender wage gap in Austria from 2005 to 2017 using data from EU-SILC. The raw wage gap declined from 18.6 logpoints in 2005 to 14.9 log points in 2017. We use standard decomposition techniques that correct for differences in the distributionsof human capital and other variables...
