      Salvanes, Kjell Gunnar; Faggio, Giulia; Reenen, John Van (Discussion paper, Working paper, 2007-08)
      There has been a remarkable increase in wage inequality in the US, UK and many other countries over the past three decades. A significant part of this appears to be within observable groups (such as age-gender-skill ...
    • The evolution of the gender wage gap 

      Kunze, Astrid (Discussion paper, Working paper, 2003-01)
      In this paper we investigate when the male-female wage differential arises: Does it evolve over the early career or does it exist right from entry into first employment? For the analysis we use new administrative ...
    • Exclusionary contracts and incentives to innovate
