摘要

性别工资差距的很大一部分可归因于职业和雇主的选择。如果工人对这些工资差异不甚了解，那么提高工资透明度可能会缓解性别差距。我们通过研究强制性工资公布的影响来验证这一假设。2011 年，奥地利出台了一项政策，要求企业在招聘信息中提供最低工资。为了比较出台前后空缺职位的薪酬前景，我们使用详细的职业-企业单元来预测发布的工资，这些单元解释了工资发布中约 75% 的变化。虽然我们估算出了 15 个对数点的巨大性别差距，但强制性工资发布并不影响性别对薪酬较高职业和企业的排序。

Can Wage Transparency Alleviate Gender Sorting in the Labor Market?

A large share of the gender wage gap can be attributed to occupation and employer choices. If workers are not well informed about these pay differences, increasing wage transparency might alleviate the gender gap. We test this hypothesis by examining the impact of mandatory wage postings. In 2011, Austria introduced a policy that requires firms to provide a minimum wage offer in job postings. To compare the pay prospects of vacancies before and after the introduction, we predict posted wages using detailed occupation-firm cells, which explain about 75 percent of the variation in wage postings. While we estimate a substantial gender gap of 15 log points, mandatory wage postings do not affect gender sorting into better-paying occupations and firms.
