摘要

我们研究了加拿大公共部门工资披露法对大学教师工资的影响。这些法律规定，如果个别教员的工资超过规定的门槛，公众就可以获得这些工资。这些法律是在不同的省份、不同的时间出台的。使用涵盖加拿大大多数教师的详细行政数据，以及利用省内不同机构和学术部门对政策的了解差异的事件研究研究设计，我们发现有力的证据表明，法律将男女之间的性别工资差距缩小了大约20 - 40%。(j23, j16, j31, j44, k31)

Pay Transparency and the Gender Gap

We examine the impact of public sector salary disclosure laws on university faculty salaries in Canada. The laws, which enable public access to the salaries of individual faculty if they exceed specified thresholds, were introduced in different provinces at different times. Using detailed administrative data covering the majority of faculty in Canada, and an event-study research design that exploits within-province variation in exposure to the policy across institutions and academic departments, we find robust evidence that the laws reduced the gender pay gap between men and women by approximately 20–40 percent. (JEL I23, J16, J31, J44, K31)
