abstract: 'Although structural determinants have been emphasized for explaining
wage differences between men and women, the role of regional opportunity
structures still warrants research. This investigation focuses on the
relevance of urban labour markets and agglomeration effects for the
spatial variation in the gender wage gap and provides comprehensive
insights into the underlying mechanisms by combining sociological,
economic, and geographical approaches. It is argued that partnership
ties impose severe restrictions on women''s labour mobility, confining
them to the labour markets of their partners and the local conditions of
their residential area. According to labour market theory, women''s lower
responsiveness to better job offers will translate into lower earnings.
However, the size of the wage penalty varies with urban size and will be
considerably lower in large labour markets. Empirical evidence is
provided using data from the German Socio-economic Panel (1992-2012).
Methodologically, the study adds to the literature by estimating hybrid,
within- and between-effect wage regressions that also take into account
dynamic selection into employment. Results indicate that male-female
wage differentials narrow with urban size up to 9 per cent, thereby
prompting the increasingly discussed importance of agglomeration effects
for women''s employment outcomes. Moreover, the study reveals and
discusses pitfalls in interpreting results from fixed-effects models.'
