Inhalt: "This paper investigates the gender wage gap among German university graduates in their first job and five to six years into their careers. We find that women earn about 30 percent less than men at their first job and about 35 percent less after five to six years. Results from standard decomposition techniques show that 80Prozent of the earnings gap in the first job can be attributed to differences in endowment of which between 74 and 78 percent are related to different fields of studies. Adding employer information leads to an explained share of about 90 percent of the earnings gap with fields of study still accounting for about half of the gap. These also play a dominant role in a model without employer information after five to six years, directly explaining between 26 and 33 percent of the earnings gap. Adding employer information, however, leads to insignificant results. Together with detailed information on experiences after graduation, these variables account for about 44 to 50 percent of the earnings gap later in the graduates careers." (author's abstract)

Inhalt: "It has been reported that there is dramatic increase of female workers into manager level jobs during last few decades in the US labor market. Using Standard & Poor's Compustat ExecuComp database over 14 years (1992 - 2005), this paper examines whether the glass ceiling in the executive market has been substantially weakened measured by relative compensation by gender and female representation in the top rung of the executive market. Though the status of females in the executive market seems to have been improved, we cannot reject null hypothesis of no change when we test hypotheses whether the glass ceiling has significantly weakened. The results of the hypothesis tests suggest that there is still a long way ahead before gender equality is achieved and the glass ceiling is removed in the executive market." (author's abstract)
