We examine the change of the gender wage gap in Austria between 2002 and 2007 using Juhn et al. (Workers and their wages, AEI Press, Washington DC, pp 107–143, <CitationRef CitationID="CR14">1991</CitationRef>) decomposition. We analyze data from Austrian tax records which we merge with social security records and Austrian micro-censuses...</citationref>
