A Meta-Analytic Approach to Gender Pay Gap: A Case of Discrimination?
Konstantinova, Elizaveta ; Krištoufek, Ladislav (advisor) ; Pertold-Gebicka, Barbara (referee)
1 Abstract The phenomenon of the gender pay gap has now been vastly examined for sev- eral decades and the research to date is extensive and diverse. In the thesis at hand, we accumulate, review and summarize empirical findings across the recent literature on the gender pay gap by means of meta-regression analysis. Our sample covers almost 20 years of the latest research and 35 developed coun- tries. The meta-regression results explain almost 90 percent of the study-to- study variation and suggest that the largest impact on the estimated adjusted gender pay gap results from not controlling for hours worked. Furthermore, the publication status of the original study is shown to have a large downward impact on the estimated gender pay gap. Conversely, the empirical findings suggest that a study affiliated with a certain institution promoting feminism or gender equality tend to overestimate the adjusted gender pay gap.
