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.'
