Beyond conventional wage discrimination analysis: Assessing comprehensive wage distributions of males and females using structured additive distributional regression
Sohn, Alexander - 2015
In this paper, we propose a new comprehensive framework for analysing wage discrimination. This framework assesses wage discrimination on the grounds of conditional wage distributions (rather than just conditional means), regards the whole population (rather than just those in work) and employs...

Education is a well-known driver of (entrepreneurial) income. The measurement of its influence, however, suffers from …) income and of education. Using instrumental variables can provide a way out. However, three questions remain: whether … that the relationship between education and entrepreneurial income is indeed endogenous and that the impact of endogeneity …

The child penalty: Implications of parenthood on labour market outcomes for men and women in Germany
Feldhoff, Charlotte H. - 2021
Whilst gender inequality has been falling in the developed world, child-related gender inequality in pay has stayed constant. In this paper I use German panel data spanning across 33 years from 1984 until 2017 including over 50,000 individuals. The main contribution of this paper is the analysis...

Robust estimation of wage dispersion with censored data: An application to occupational earnings risk and risk attitudes
Pollmann, Daniel; Dohmen, Thomas; Palm, Franz - 2013
We present a semiparametric method to estimate group-level dispersion, which is particularly effective in the presence of censored data. We apply this procedure to obtain measures of occupation-specific wage dispersion using top-coded administrative wage data from the German IAB Employment...

Technological progress, occupational structure, and gender gaps in the German labour market
Bachmann, Ronald; Gonschor, Myrielle - 2024
We analyze if technological progress and the change in the occupational structure have improved women's position in the labour market. We show that women increasingly work in non-routine manual and in interactive occupations. However, the observed narrowing of the gender wage gap is entirely...
