Gender Differences in Managerial Compensation - Evidences from Denmark
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper examines the gender earnings gap at the executive level on a unique data set of Danish executives in the period 1992-1995. Ordinary wage equations show that the wage gap disappears when controlling for “Who you are”, “Where you work” and “What you do”. Additionally, decomposition into interand intra-occupational differences shows that two thirds of the wage gap are due to differences between occupations. Individual-specific characteristics contribute negatively to the wage gap, i.e. in favour of women. Decomposing by real authority level shows a larger unexplained part of the wage gap. Real authority is more discriminating than formal authority. JEL Classification: J31, L2, J44, G3
