3 Introduction Olivetti and Petrongolo (2008) argue: low female labour force participation (LFP) in Southern Europe implies positive selection among participating women male labour force participation (LFP) is uniformly high everywhere (i.e., there are no selectivity issues) Hence, raw gender wage gap in Southern Europe tend to be lower than in Rest of Europe. Selection correction increases true gender wage gaps in Southern EU countries. 3/25

6 This Paper Estimates gender wage gaps accounting for gender-specific selection biases before and after the Great Recession (GR). Uses wage imputation method requiring assumptions on the position with respect to the median of the wage distribution. Provides evidence of the changing nature of selection into employment: The GR has led to a large destruction of male unskilled jobs: male selection bias has increased: more likely to have happened in southern EU countries. The GR had a heterogenous effect on female selection bias depending on which of the following two forces were dominant: added worker effect: female LFP has risen leading to a fall in female selection bias (Portugal and Italy); negative labour demand shift: female employment rates went down leading to an increase in female selection bias (Greece, Spain). 6/25

8 A Theoretical Framework We begin with the log potential wage equation: where g i = 0 for males and g i = 1 for females; µ w t is common to all workers; γ t common to all women; w it = µ w t + g i γ t + ε it (1) ε it zero-mean error term such that m(ε it /µ w t, g i ) = 0, where m(.) is the median function. The true gender wage gap when no selection issues are present, TG t, is: TG t m(w it g i = 0) m(w it g i = 1) = γ t (2) where we expect γ t < 0 on historical grounds, and therefore TG t > 0. 8/25
9 A Theoretical Framework - Selection Bias Because selection into employment is not random, the raw gender wage gap, RG t, is: RG t m(w it g i = 0, L it = 1) m(w it g i = 1, L it = 1) = γ t + m(ε it g i = 1, L it = 1) m(ε it g i = 0, L it = 1) = TG t + (b m t b f t ) }{{} selection bias differential (3) where L it is an indicator for whether individual i is employed in year t, bt m = m(ε it g i = 0, L it = 1) and b f t = m(ε it g i = 1, L it = 1) are the selection biases of males and females, respectively. 9/25
10 The Model To predict which workers are employed, we add a productivity equation, x it, as well as a reservation wage equation, r it : where it is assumed that ρ > 1. w it = µ w t + g i γ t + ε it (4) x it = µ x t + ρε it (5) r it = g i µ r t (6) Individual i is employed at time t, L it = 1, if 1 the labour supply (LS) condition is satisfied: w it > r it, or a LS t g i µ r t µ w t g i γ t < ε it, 2 the labour demand (LD) condition is satisfied: w it < x it, or a LD t µw t + g i γ t µ x t ρ 1 < ε it. 10/25
11 Selection Biases before Great Recession b f 0 a LS 0 b m 0 = 0 b f 0 ε i0 Assume ε it N [0, 1] for all t. Male selection bias is equal to zero: b m 0 = m(ε i0 g i = 0, L i0 = 1) = 0. Female selection bias is positive due to binding LS condition: b f 0 = m(ε i0 g i = 1, a LS 0 < ε i0 ) > 0. 11/25
12 Selection Biases after Great Recession (Case 1) b m 1 b f 1 a LD 1 a LS 1 b m b m 0 1 b f 1 = bf 0 ε i1 Case 1: LS unchanged, a LS 1 = a LS 0, LD binding only for males, a LD 1 < a LS 1. Male selection bias becomes positive: b m 1 = b m 1 b m 0 = b m 1 = m(ε i1 g i = 0, a LD 1 < ε i1 ) > 0. Female selection remains unchanged (positive): b f 1 = bf 1 bf 0 = 0. 12/25
13 Selection Biases after Great Recession (Case 2) b m 1 = bf 1 a LS 1 ald 1 b m 0 b f 1 = bm 1 ε i1 Case 2: LS unchanged, a LS 1 = a LS 0, LD binding for both sexes, a LS 1 < a LD 1. Male selection bias becomes positive: b m 1 = b m 1 b m 0 = b m 1 = m(ε i1 g i = 0, a LD 1 < ε i1 ) > 0. Female selection bias increases and equals male selection bias : b f 1 = bf 1 bf 0 > 0. 13/25
14 Selection Biases after Great Recession (Case 3) b m 1 b f 1 a LD a LS 1 1 als 0 b m b m 0 1 b f 1 bf 0 ε i1 Case 3: LS less binding due to added-worker effect, a1 LS < 0, LD binding for males only, a1 LD < a1 LS. Male selection bias becomes positive: b m 1 = b m 1 b m 0 = b m 1 = m(ε i1 g i = 0, a LD 1 < ε i1 ) > 0. Female selection bias falls (becomes less positive): b f 1 = bf 1 bf 0 < 0. 14/25
15 Data We use the European Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) data set: unbalanced household-based panel survey; collects comparable multidimensional annual micro-data. a few thousands households per country starting 2004; Countries: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, UK and Norway. Sample: prime-age individuals (25-54) as of survey date excluding those in self-employment, full-time education, and military service. 15/25
16 Empirical Methodology To estimate parameters µ w t regressions. and γ t of equation (1), we use median wage Running the median wage regression on the observed wages will result in a bias to the extent that m(ε it g i, L it = 1) 0. Following Olivetti and Petrongolo (2008) the median estimator on a transformed dependent variable y it such that w it if L it = 1, y it = w if L it = 0 and missing wage is below the median, w if L it = 0 and missing wage is above the median, where w and w are arbitrarily low and high imputed values, respectively, will result in an unbiased estimator of median wage gaps. 16/25
17 Imputation Methods We use 4 alternative imputations rules: 1 Imputation on education and experience { w if Lit = 0 and educ high school and expe < 15 years, y it = w if L it = 0 and educ college and expe 15 years. 2 Imputation on spousal income { w if Lit = 0 and spousal income in bottom quartile, y it = w if L it = 0 and spousal income in top quartile. 3 Imputation on labour market status y it = w if L it = 0 and unemployed. 4 Imputation on wages from other waves y it = w it if L it = 0 and wage available from wave t. Two Methods to Assess Goodness of Imputation Rules (when possible) 1 Proportion of imputed wages on the same side of the median as wages from other waves of the panel. 2 Proportion of employed workers earning wages on the right side of the median as predicted by the imputation rule. 17/25

20 Imputation on Education and Experience - Takeaways Raw gender wage gaps have fallen by 3 pp., however true gender wage gaps have fallen by 4 pp. due to a fall in gender selection bias differential. Male selection bias has increased on average by 3.6 pp. in Southern Europe while it has hardly changed in the Rest of Europe (+0.3 pp.). The increase is largest in Greece and Spain (in line with large falls in less-skilled male employment of 19.4 pp. and 19.2 pp.). Female selection bias has increased on average by 2.5 pp. in Southern Europe while it has hardly changed in the Rest of Europe (-0.7 pp.). Female selection bias decreased in Italy and Portugal (in line with added-worker hypothesis) where E f is small. 20/25

25 Conclusions Raw gender wage gaps have fallen by 3 pp. in EU during the Great Recession, i.e. by about 20-25% of the pre-crisis raw gap. Selection correction implies true gender wage gaps have fallen by 4 pp. The difference between the two is due to an increase in gender selection bias differential, i.e. the changing nature of gender selection into employment. The dominant force of the latter is an increase in male selection bias in Southern EU. Questions Remain: Is this a temporary effect that will disappear when demand recovers? Or can the substantial equalization of male and female employment rates have permanent effects? 25/25
