摘要

我们研究了奥地利2011年的薪酬透明度法，该法要求超过规模门槛的公司发布关于性别薪酬差距的内部报告。使用事件研究设计，我们表明该政策对男性和女性工资没有明显的影响，因此使性别工资差距保持不变。我们对其影响进行了精确估计，排除了该政策将男女工资差距缩小了0.4个百分点以上的可能性。此外，我们没有发现企业内部工资压缩的证据。我们讨论了改革没有缩小性别工资差距的几个可能的原因。(j16, j31, j71, k31)

Does Pay Transparency Affect the Gender Wage Gap? Evidence from Austria

We study the 2011 Austrian pay transparency law, which requires firms above a size threshold to publish internal reports on the gender pay gap. Using an event-study design, we show that the policy had no discernible effects on male and female wages, thus leaving the gender wage gap unchanged. The effects are precisely estimated, and we rule out that the policy narrowed the gender wage gap by more than 0.4 p.p.. Moreover, we do not find evidence for wage compression within establishments. We discuss several possible reasons why the reform did not reduce the gender wage gap. (JEL J16, J31, J71, K31)
