Gender Wage Differentials in a Competitive Labor Market: The Household Interaction Effect

Francois, Patrick; van Ours, Jan C. - 2000

We present a theoretical explanation of the gender wage gap which turns on the interaction between men and women in households. In equilibria where men are over-represented in fulltime work, we show that firms rationally choose to hire women only at strictly lower wages than men. The model...

Büchel, Felix; Pollmann-Schult, Matthias - 2001

Thurow?s job-competition model implies that overeducation is contingent upon the differing skill endowments of employees. As yet, only rudimentary evidence has been furnished to confirm this relationship. In the present paper, we test the theory in a more sophisticated manner, by means of a more...

Minimum Wages and On-the-Job Training

Acemoglu, Daron; Pischke, Jörn-Steffen - 2001

Becker?s theory of human capital predicts that minimum wages should reduce training investments for affected workers because they prevent these workers from taking wage cuts necessary to finance training. In contrast, in noncompetitive labor markets, minimum wages tend to increase training of...
