In most OECD countries, the wage gap between men and women has narrowed during the past two decades. Developments of the last
20 years, e.g., increased labour market attachment of women or the introduction of equal pay laws, may have reduced the gender
wage gap. We investigate the extent, persistence, and socio-economic determinants of the gender wage gap in Austria, for the
years 1983 and 1997. Using wage decomposition techniques, we find that the average gender wage gap was almost as high in 1997
as it was in 1983. Not accounting for differences, the gender wage gap dropped from 25.5 to 23.3% of men’s wages. Taking observable
differences between men and women into account, we estimate that the mean gender wage gap that cannot be explained, i.e.,
discrimination against women, dropped from 17 to 14% of men’s wages. A decomposition of the gender wage gap over time indicates
that both returns to human capital and less discrimination were responsible for the narrowing of the gender wage gap.

We examine the change of the gender wage gap in Austria between 2002 and 2007 using Juhn et al. (Workers and their wages, AEI Press, Washington DC, pp 107–143, 1991) decomposition. We analyze data from Austrian tax records which we merge with social security records and Austrian micro-censuses of the years 2002 and 2007. We find that the gender wage gap declined from 21 % in 2002 to 18 % in 2007. The main determinant of this decline is the relative improvement of women’s unobserved characteristics. The decline of the gender wage gap is also due to women having attained more formal education and to a convergence of men’s and women’s returns to education. Women’s improved educational attainments were partly offset by a shift in the demand for skilled workers that disadvantaged unskilled workers, most of whom are women, resulting in a moderate decrease of the gender pay gap over these years. Robustness checks confirm our results. 相似文献

In this paper, we estimate own-price elasticities for fixed network voice telephony access and national calls services for
private users as well as cross-price elasticities to mobile services using time series data from 2002 to 2007 from the Austrian
markets. Using instrumental variable estimates and considering cointegration, we find that access is inelastic while calls
are elastic. We conclude that the retail market for national calls of private users can probably be deregulated due to sufficient
competitive pressure from mobile. Access-substitution on the other hand does not seem to be strong enough to justify de-regulation. 相似文献

The objective of this paper is to test whether firms in the dynamic random access memory (DRAM) industry take the intertemporal strategic effect of their contemporaneous output decision on their rivals’ future output decision into account or whether they precommit themselves to a production plan. Learning-by-doing and spillovers are present in this industry and introduce an intertemporal component to firms’ strategies. A simplified version of Jarmin's [RAND J. Econ. 250 (1994) 441] dynamic oligopolistic model is applied to firm-level data. Demand and pricing relations for five DRAM generations are estimated. The empirical results show that firms behave strategically and price–cost margins are likely overestimated in a precommitment specification. 相似文献

This paper analyses residential demand for Internet access in Austria with a focus on broadband Internet connections. Austria
has cable network coverage of about 50% and is, therefore, a good candidate to analyse the elasticity of demand for DSL where
cable is available and where it is not. We also include mobile broadband via UMTS or HSDPA in our analysis and estimate various
nested logit models to derive conclusions for market definition. The estimation results suggest that demand for DSL is elastic
and that cable networks are likely to be in the same market as DSL connections both at the retail and at the wholesale level.
We discuss possible implications for the regulation of wholesale broadband access markets.
