Building on recent analyses that find a sizeable, overall gender wage gap in Azerbaijan's workforce, this paper uses data on young workers in their early years in the labor market to understand how gender wage gaps evolve over time, if at all. Using a unique database from a survey of young...

This paper explains a stylized fact about the correlation between rising wage inequality and declining marriage rates. A two-sided matching model is developed to explore how this interaction occurs. The model features a steady state equilibrium in which the whole marriage market is divided into...

We analyze four methods to measure unexplained gaps in mean outcomes: three decompositions based on the seminal work of Oaxaca (1973) and Blinder (1973) and an approach involving a seemingly naive regression that includes a group indicator variable. Our analysis yields two principal findings. We...
