Using Twins to Resolve the Twin Problem of Having a Bad Job and a Low Wage

We use data on twins matched to register-based information on earnings to examine the long-standing puzzle of non-existent compensating wage differentials.

Using twin differences we find evidence for positive compensation of adverse working conditions in the labor market
