REINVESTIGATING THE DETERMINANTS OF GENDER WAGE GAP: EVIDENCE FROM SURVEY

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This paper contributes to the literature with analyses of different aspects of wage differentials between men and women with a special attention to socio-psychological factors and job-related characteristics. For purposes of this study we conducted a survey on a representative sample of employees in the Czech Republic, in which we asked 64 questions covering various aspects of work and family life, preferences, personality and other characteristics of employees and their jobs. In addition to already established questions, we introduce a number of novel controls, such as grit among psychological factors based on research in psychology by e.g. Duckworth and Quinn (2009), and novel gender identity and family situation variables. This unique survey helps us to shed some light on factors explaining gender wage gap as a whole. In our analyses we first run wage equations starting with very parsimonious specification with the female dummy as a sole explanatory variable, and then we add various subsets of variables one by one in order to examine the effect of their inclusion on the female dummy coefficient. We find that female dummy shows 25.3% wage difference with respect to men and it explains approximately 11.6% of the variance in monthly wages (adj. R-sq) in this most parsimonious model specification. Adding our rich subsets of variables decreases the coefficient to female dummy substantially to 3.2%, and our full model specification explains 53.5% of variance of monthly wages.
