We find that both raw adjusted gaps increase with size private sector, even after controlling for unobserved worker heterogeneity, consistent being targeted effectively. However, this conclusion changes accounting firm-level heterogeneity. Large firms have smaller within-firm similar when compared firms. Our findings are not specific current definition but hold more generally, including at alternative proposed thresholds.
