	abstract={This paper studies the cause of the changes, or lack of, in wage inequality in East Germany
during its transition from a socialist to a market-oriented economic system. We are interested
in how much of the change in the dispersion of wages can be explained by the changes in
the characteristics of workers and how much can be explained by the changes in returns to
characteristics of workers.
