Outlines

This paper provides evidences on the effect of controlling for unobserved individual heterogeneity in estimating the (un)adjusted gender pay differentials.

Using the European Community Household Panel (ECHP), we present a cross-country comparison of the gender pay gap over time (1994-2001) based on cross-section and panel data estimation techniques.

teeData base

The European Community Household Panel (ECHP)

Annual interview of a representative set of European households. Length: 1994-2001

Covers many topics, subdivided into 2 groups: Data related to households (financial situation, housing

conditions, durable consumption, children,…) Data related to individuals (economic activities, income,

education and training, health, social relations, migrations, satisfaction with various aspects of life, etc.)

=> valuable source of information: allow countries comparison thanks to a standardised methodology as well as to study changes over time at the micro level.

Countries

The select countries differ according to their welfare state model:The conservative-corporatist model (Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands and Spain)The Scandinavian model (Denmark) The liberal welfare model (Ireland and UK).

Furthermore, we can identify Italy and Spain as representative of the Mediterranean mode

Countries

According to Gornick they also differ regarding the level of public support to child care arrangements, maternity and parental leave provision. High support (Denmark, France and Belgium)Medium support (West-Germany, Italy and the

Netherlands)Low support (Ireland, Spain and United-

Kingdom)

MethodologyWage equations

Estimated model:

ln Wit = β0 + β1 Xit + β2 Zi + αi + εit

Xit: time-varying explanatory variables,

Zi : time-invariant explanatory variables,

αi : unobserved heterogeneity term constant over time. E(αi)= 0, σ²α

εit: error term E(εit)= 0, σ²ε, uncorrelated with X, Z and α

MethodologyHow to estimate the wage equation?

• Ordinary Least Square (OLS) bias since do not take into account the unobserved

heterogeneity term • Fixed effects model (FE)

unbiased estimators but inefficient since do not take into account time-invariant variables

• Random Generalised Least Square (GLS)

only if E(αi | Xit, Zi) = 0 (Hausman test)• Random Generalised Least Square with

instrumentation (IV/GLS)

unbiased and efficient estimators

MethodologyWage equations

1. Fixed effects model:ln Wit - ln Wi . = β (Xit - Xi .)+ (εit - εi . )

where Wi . = (1/Ti) , Xi . = (1/Ti)

2. Computation of the mean individual residuals

3. Between effect model 

If E(αi | Xit, Zi) 0 =>Instrumentation of Zi

Proper instruments: Xi. strongly correlated with the Zi but uncorrelated with αi

MethodologyHausman test

Distributed as a chi-squared with a degree of freedom equal to the number of instruments used minus the number of time-invariant instrumented variables.

If the test reject the null hypothesis, need to use new combination of instruments until the test accept the null hypothesis.

Results Strong positive effect of education upon wage

BE, SP, UK: men better remuneratedFR, GE, IT: women better remunerated for an upper

Positive influence of experience: concave relation

For all countries, except Spain, the return of experience is larger for men.

Results An additional year of experience leads to from

about 1.5% higher wage in Belgium, Denmark, France and Spain to 2.1-2.6% in Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands and UK

Wage increases with level of tenure. The variables relative to job status (supervisory),

size of the company and type of contract show, when significant, a positive relation between wage and degree of supervision of an employee, the size of firm or the permanent nature of an employment contract. .

Conclusion

Controlling for individual heterogeneity, we observe an increase of the male-female differential, the rates of the return of experience and education as well as a reduction of penalty due to low tenure, low skilled occupations, fixed employment contract and relatively small enterprise size.
