Public Institutions vs. Private Enterprises}, year={2018}, month={Dec}, institution={Institute of Labor Economics (IZA)}, address={Bonn}, type={IZA Discussion Paper}, number={12026}, url={https://www.iza.org/publications/dp12026}, abstract={We analyze the link between the presence of female managers and the size of the firm-level gender pay gap, looking separately at the private and public sector. Using a large linked employer-employee dataset for Poland and a non-parametric and parametric decompositions, we find that higher presence of female managers is associated with more pay advantage towards women in selected types of public sector units: the ones in which remunerations of women and men are already equal, and a large share of the workforce is tertiary-educated. The effects are, however, relatively small in size. In private establishments, lower gender wage inequality is associated with higher shares of female workers, but not female managers.}, keywords={Ñopo decomposition;female managers;public sector;wage inequalities;gender wage gap;Oaxaca- Blinder decomposition}, }
