Boeheim, Rene; Himpele, Klemens; Mahringer, Helmut; … - 2011
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...

The Measurement of Income Distribution Dynamics when Demographics are correlated with Income
Grimm, Michael; Cogneau, Denis - 2005
The purpose of our paper is to derive instructive analytics on how to account for differentials in demographic variables, in particular mortality, when performing welfare comparisons over time. The idea is to apply various ways of 'correcting' estimated income distribution measures for 'sample...

Work experience as a source of specification error in earnings models: implications for gender wage decompositions
Regan, Tracy L.; Oaxaca, Ronald L. - 2006
We address the bias from using potential vs. actual experience in earnings models. Statistical tests reject the classical errors-in-variable framework. The nature of the measurement error is best viewed as a model misspecification problem. We correct for this by modeling actual experience as a...

Noncognitive skills, occupational attainment, and relative wages
Cobb-Clark, Deborah A.; Tan, Michelle - 2009
This paper examines whether men's and women's noncognitive skills influence their occupational attainment and, if so, whether this contributes to the disparity in their relative wages. We find that noncognitive skills have a substantial effect on the probability of employment in many, though not...
