Gender Tokenism in Corporate Boardrooms in Europe
We examine the tension between the diversity spillover and tokenism hypotheses using a novel and extensive dataset of nearly 6 million private corporations across 29 European countries from 1986 to 2020. The diversity spillover hypothesis suggests that appointing women to supervisory roles facilitates greater female representation in executive positions. In contrast, the tokenism hypothesis argues that appointing a single woman, without broader s…
Statistical gender discrimination
Statistical discrimination offers a compelling narrative on gender wage gaps among younger workers. Employers could reduce women's wages to adjust for expected costs linked to child-bearing. If this is the case, then trends toward delayed fertility should reduce the gender wage gap among young workers. We provide a novel collection of adjusted gender wage gap (AGWG) estimates among young workers from 56 countries spanning four decades and use it …
Matching it up
We study the link between working arrangements and job satisfaction and provide novel insights on the (mis)match between preferred and actual working arrangements. We propose an empirical strategy to identify this mismatch at an individual level and apply this approach to data from the European Working Conditions Survey. We demonstrate that the extent of mismatch differs across European countries, and reducing the mismatch between working arrange…
Preference for redistribution during structural change with labor mobility frictions
Thorough structural change occurs periodically across world economies. In a parsimonious overlapping generation setup with political economy, we present a novel result: structural change not only exacerbates the rise in inequality but also strengthens the preference for redistribution. Labor mobility frictions are instrumental in this mechanism
Central planning casts long shadows
We analyze the link between resource misallocation resulting from central planning and subsequent long-term economic growth under a market-based system. We construct two novel data sets for Poland. We show that misalignment of resources under central planning coincides with lower subsequent economic growth, despite the fact that market mechanisms are reinstated. This result is robust even three decades after the collapse of central planning. We p…
Welfare states as lifecycle redistribution machines
Social scientists identify two core functions of modern welfare states as redistribution across (a) socio-economic status groups (Robin Hood) and (b) ‘the lifecycle’ (the piggy bank). But what is the relative importance of these functions? The answer has been elusive, as the piggy bank is metaphorical. The intra-personal time-travel of resources it implies is based on non- quid-pro-quo transfers. In practice, ‘lifecycle redistribution’ must opera…
Digital piracy and the perception of price fairness
We study a relationship between perceived price fairness and digital piracy. In a large-scale field experiment on customers of a leading ebook store, we employ the Bayesian truth serum to elicit the information on acquiring books from unauthorized sources (often referred to as digital piracy). We provide empirical evidence in support of the conjecture that willingness to “pirate” is associated with having experienced subjective overpricing. We pr…
When Opportunity Knocks
We present empirical evidence that large structural shocks are followed by changes in labor market inequality. Specifically, we study short-run fluctuations in adjusted gender wage gaps (unequal pay for equal work) following episodes of structural shocks in the labor markets, using several decades of individual data for a wide selection of transition countries. We find that for cohorts who entered the labor market after the onset of transition. L…
A Cautionary Note on the Reliability of the Online Survey Data
We investigate the reliability of data from the Wage Indicator (WI), the largest online survey on earnings and working conditions. Comparing WI to nationally representative data sources for 17 countries reveals that participants of WI are not likely to have been representatively drawn from the respective populations. Previous literature has proposed to utilize weights based on inverse propensity scores, but this procedure was shown to leave rewei…

Inequality in an OLG economy with heterogeneous cohorts and pension systems
Does Age Exacerbate the Gender-Wage Gap? New Method and Evidence From Germany, 1984–2014
Given theoretical premises, the gender-wage gap adjusted for individual characteristics is likely to vary according to age. This study adapts John DiNardo, Nicole M. Fortin, and Thomas Lemieux's (1996) semi-parametric technique to disentangle year, cohort, and age effects in adjusted gender-wage gaps. The study relies on a long panel of data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) covering 1984–2015. The results indicate that, in Germany, the…
Wage Inequality and Structural Change
Income inequality in the context of large structural change has received a lot of attention in the literature, but most studies relied on household post-transfer inequality measures. This study utilizes a novel and fairly comprehensive collection of micro datasets between 1980s and 2010 for both advanced market economies and economies undergoing transition from central planning to market based system. We show that earned income inequality was ini…
