We analyze the evolution of the wage structure in East Germany over the past two decades and compare it to West Germany …. Both regions experienced a rise in wage inequality between 1995 and 2009 with wage dispersion in East Germany exceeding … West Germany, esp. at the top. We also show that wage inequality is no longer rising in Germany and has even been declining …
