Do Female Managers Help to Lower Within-Firm Gender Pay Gaps? Public Institutions vs. Private Enterprises 女性管理者是否有助于缩小公司内部的性别薪酬差距?公共机构与私营企业
I. Magda, Ewa Cukrowska�?Torzewska
We analyse the link between the presence of female managers and the size of the firm-level gender pay gap. We look separately at the private and public sector, basing on a large linked employer-employee dataset for Poland. Using a non-parametric and parametric decompositions, we find that higher presence of female managers is associated with more pay advantage towards women in selected types of public sector units: the ones in which remunerations of women and men are already equal, and a large share of the workforce is tertiary-educated. The effects are, however, relatively small in size. In private establishments, lower gender wage inequality is associated with higher shares of female workers, but not female managers.
我们分析了女性经理的存在与公司层面性别薪酬差距的大小之间的联系。我们根据波兰的大型关联雇主-雇员数据集,分别研究私营部门和公共部门。使用非参数和参数分解,我们发现,在某些类型的公共部门单位中,女性管理人员的比例越高,对女性的薪酬优势就越大:在这些单位中,男女薪酬已经平等,而且大部分劳动力都受过高等教育。然而,这些影响在规模上相对较小。在私营企业,性别工资不平等程度较低与女性工人比例较高有关,但与女性管理人员比例较高无关。

Teaching, Gender and Labour Market Incentives 教学、性别和劳动力市场激励措施
David R. Carroll, Jaai Parasnis, M. Tani
The concentration of women in the teaching profession is widely noted and generally attributed to gender differences in preferences and social roles. Further, gender segregation exists within this profession – women make up almost all of the primary and pre-primary teaching cohorts, while men who choose to become teachers tend to specialise in secondary schooling and administrative roles. To what extent is this gender structure in teaching a response to economic incentives from the labour market? Our research addresses this question by studying the effects of wage structure on the decision to become a teacher. In particular, we ask what the most attractive choice is for a graduate given the wage structure of the previous graduate cohort. We show that the labour market, especially the relative returns to education across occupations for men and women, can explain these vocational choices in the Australian context. Women with bachelor qualifications receive higher returns as teachers, while men with bachelor qualifications receive higher returns in other occupations. In contrast, while both men and women with postgraduate qualifications earn higher returns in other occupations, the difference is consistently smaller for women than men. Women face a lower opportunity cost for becoming a teacher compared to men. A more balanced gender representation among teachers seems unlikely given the existing structure of returns to education, by gender, across professions.
人们普遍注意到妇女集中从事教学职业,一般认为这是由于偏好和社会角色方面的性别差异。此外,在这一职业中存在着性别隔离——妇女几乎占小学和学前教师队伍的全部,而选择成为教师的男子往往专门从事中学教育和行政工作。教学中的这种性别结构在多大程度上是对劳动力市场经济激励的回应?我们的研究通过研究工资结构对决定成为一名教师的影响来解决这个问题。特别是,我们会问,考虑到上一届毕业生的工资结构,对毕业生来说,最有吸引力的选择是什么。我们表明,劳动力市场,特别是男性和女性在不同职业的相对教育回报,可以解释澳大利亚背景下的这些职业选择。拥有学士学位的女性作为教师获得更高的回报,而拥有学士学位的男性在其他职业获得更高的回报。相比之下,尽管拥有研究生学历的男性和女性在其他职业中都能获得更高的回报,但女性的收入差距始终小于男性。与男性相比,女性成为教师的机会成本更低。考虑到现有的教育回报结构、性别和职业,教师中更平衡的性别代表似乎不太可能。

What Hides Behind the German Labor Market Miracle? Unemployment Insurance Reforms and Labor Market Dynamics 德国劳动力市场奇迹背后隐藏着什么?失业保险改革和劳动力市场动态
Benjamin Hartung, Philip Jung, M. Kuhn
A key question in labor market research is how the unemployment insurance system affects unemployment rates and labor market dynamics. We revisit this old question studying the German Hartz reforms. On average, lower separation rates explain 76% of declining unemployment after the reform, a fact unexplained by existing research focusing on job finding rates. The reduction in separation rates is heterogeneous, with long-term employed, high-wage workers being most affected. We causally link our empirical findings to the reduction in long-term unemployment benefits using a heterogeneous-agent labor market search model. Absent the reform, unemployment rates would be 50% higher today.
劳动力市场研究中的一个关键问题是失业保险制度如何影响失业率和劳动力市场动态。我们在研究德国哈茨改革时重新审视这个老问题。平均而言,较低的离职率可以解释改革后76%的失业率下降,而现有的专注于求职率的研究无法解释这一事实。离职率的降低是不均匀的,长期就业的高工资工人受到的影响最大。我们使用异质代理劳动力市场搜索模型将我们的实证发现与长期失业福利的减少因果联系起来。如果没有改革,今天的失业率将高出50%。

Vocational Training for Unemployed Youth in Latvia: Evidence from a Regression Discontinuity Design 拉脱维亚失业青年的职业培训:来自回归不连续设计的证据
M. Bratti, Corinna Ghirelli, E. Havari, Giulia Santangelo
This paper evaluates the impact of a vocational training programme on the labour market outcomes of unemployed youth in Latvia. The programme is part of the Youth Guarantee scheme for the period 2014-2020, the largest action launched by the European Union to reduce youth unemployment rate and to support young people aged between 15 and 29 who are not in education, employment or training (NEETs). To estimate the causal effect of participating in the programme on the employment outcomes, we exploit a rule that gives priority for participation to unemployed people under the age of 25 using a fuzzy Regression Discontinuity Design setup. The estimated effects of the programme on the probability of being employed and monthly income up to 3.5 years after registering in the programme are positive but not statistically significant, although we find a strong positive effect of the priority rule on programme participation. This is the first evidence on the impact of a programme within the current Youth Guarantee scheme in Europe and our findings are in line with those from the literature on the evaluation of active labour market policies targeting youth.
本文评估了职业培训方案对拉脱维亚失业青年劳动力市场结果的影响。该方案是2014-2020年青年保障计划的一部分,该计划是欧盟为降低青年失业率和支持年龄在15至29岁之间未接受教育、就业或培训的青年(啃老族)而发起的最大行动。为了估计参与该计划对就业结果的因果影响,我们利用模糊回归不连续设计设置,利用一条规则,优先考虑25岁以下的失业人员参与。尽管我们发现优先规则对计划参与有很强的积极影响,但该计划对计划注册后长达3.5年的就业概率和月收入的估计影响是积极的,但在统计上并不显著。这是关于欧洲当前青年保障计划中一个项目影响的第一个证据,我们的发现与针对青年的积极劳动力市场政策评估文献中的结果一致。

Womb at Work: The Missing Impact of Maternal Employment on Newborn Health 工作中的子宫:母亲就业对新生儿健康的缺失影响
Caroline Chuard
Parental leave policies across the globe have become much more generous than they used to be. This is also true for prenatal maternal leave. While this may be costly in the short run, little is known about the effect of maternal employment during pregnancy on newborn health. In this paper, I exploit three sharp policy changes on the duration of paid parental leave in Austria that strongly affected the share of mothers who work up to the 32nd week of pregnancy. I use administrative data from Austria on the working history of women linked to the full Austrian birth register and coupled with a regression discontinuity framework to identify the effect of prenatal employment on their offspring. Maternal employment during pregnancy with the second child reacts strongly to these policy changes. The share of employed mothers sharply declined in 1990 by 19.1 percentage points, increased in 1996 by 7.2 percentage points and declined again by 6.4 percentage points in 2000. None of these changes in prenatal employment translated into effects on newborn health measured via birth weight, gestational length, and Apgar scores. This result holds true for mothers of different socioeconomic backgrounds and across industries. The effect is precisely estimated, which suggests that prenatal employment prior to the 32nd week of pregnancy does not causally affect the fetus for measures visible at birth.
全球各地的育儿假政策比过去慷慨得多。产前产假也是如此。虽然这在短期内可能代价高昂,但对孕妇在怀孕期间就业对新生儿健康的影响知之甚少。在本文中,我利用了奥地利带薪育儿假持续时间的三个急剧政策变化,这些变化强烈影响了工作到怀孕32周的母亲的份额。我使用来自奥地利的行政数据,将妇女的工作历史与奥地利完整的出生登记册联系起来,并结合回归不连续框架,以确定产前就业对其后代的影响。怀二胎的孕妇在怀孕期间的就业情况对这些政策变化反应强烈。就业母亲的比例在1990年急剧下降19.1个百分点,1996年上升7.2个百分点,2000年再次下降6.4个百分点。产前就业的这些变化都没有转化为对新生儿健康的影响,通过出生体重、妊娠长度和阿普加评分来衡量。这一结果适用于不同社会经济背景和不同行业的母亲。这种影响是精确估计的,这表明怀孕32周之前的产前工作对胎儿出生时可见的措施没有因果关系。

Violence and Female Labor Supply 暴力与女性劳动力供给
Zahra Siddique
This paper explores whether fear and safety concerns have an impact on behavior such as female labor supply in a developing country context. The effect of media reported physical and sexual assaults on urban women's labor force participation in India is investigated by combining nationally representative cross-sectional microeconomic surveys carried out between 2009 and 2012 with a novel geographically referenced data source on media reports of assaults. I find that a σ increase in lagged sexual assault reports within one's own district reduces the probability that a woman is employed outside her home by 0.44 percentage points (or 3.6% of the sample average). I find this effect despite ruling out several sources of unobserved heterogeneity. This effect is also robust to a number of sensitivity checks. Consistent with a model in which women make investments to overcome fear in the presence of economic incentives, I find that the effect of local violence on labor supply is weaker among women from poorer households. I also find this effect to be weaker among high caste Hindu women, but strong among Muslim women.
本文探讨了在发展中国家背景下,恐惧和安全问题是否对女性劳动力供给等行为产生影响。通过结合2009年至2012年间进行的具有全国代表性的横断面微观经济调查,以及一种新的地理参考数据源,研究了媒体报道的身体和性侵犯对印度城市女性劳动力参与的影响。我发现,在一个人所在的地区,滞后性侵犯报告的σ增加会使女性在家庭以外就业的可能性降低0.44个百分点(或样本平均值的3.6%)。尽管排除了几个未观察到的异质性来源,我还是发现了这种效应。这种效果对许多灵敏度检查也是稳健的。与女性在经济激励下进行投资以克服恐惧的模式相一致,我发现当地暴力对劳动力供应的影响在来自较贫困家庭的女性中较弱。我还发现,这种影响在高种姓印度教女性中较弱,但在穆斯林女性中较强。

Paying to Avoid Recession: Using Reenlistment to Estimate the Cost of Unemployment 花钱避免衰退:用重新登记来估计失业的成本
Mark Borgschulte, Paco Martorell
This paper provides revealed preference estimates of the monetary value to workers of a lower unemployment rate at the time of job separation. By examining the decision between reenlisting and exiting the military, we find that service members would sacrifice 1.5–2 percent in earnings to avoid a 1 percentage point increase in the home-state unemployment rate during job search. Comparing these quantities to realized earnings losses for those who separate suggests that the value of nonwork time and other factors (e.g., private and public transfers) offset less than one-third of the earnings losses caused by exiting the military into a weak labor market. (JEL E24, E32, J31, J45, J64)
本文提供了在工作分离时较低失业率对工人的货币价值的揭示偏好估计。通过研究重新入伍和退出军队之间的决定,我们发现,服役人员将牺牲1.5 - 2%的收入,以避免在求职期间家乡失业率上升1个百分点。将这些数量与那些退伍军人的实际收入损失进行比较,可以发现非工作时间的价值和其他因素(例如,私人和公共转移)抵消的收入损失不到三分之一,这些损失是由退出军队进入疲软的劳动力市场造成的。(jel e24, e32, j31, j45, j64)

Peer Effects in Consumption in India: An Instrumental Variables Approach Using Negative Idiosyncratic Shocks 印度消费中的同伴效应:使用负特质冲击的工具变量方法
Punarjit Roychowdhury
Abstract This paper examines peer effects in consumption in context of a less developed country. Specifically, the question that I seek to answer is whether consumption expenditure of a household is influenced by that of its peers in a less developed country. To examine this question, I use newly available household level data from India. I define a household’s peer group as other households living in its village/neighborhood. In assessing the influences of peers in this context, there are two key empirical challenges including shared group-level unobservables, and simultaneity of peer influences. I address these issues by using an instrumental variables/fixed effects approach that compares households in the same district but different villages/neighborhoods who are thus exposed to different sets of peers. In particular, I use plausibly exogenous variation in idiosyncratic expenditure shocks – which are accidental and negative in nature – faced by peers as instruments for peers’ consumption expenditure. Preferred specification suggests that a one standard deviation increase in average consumption expenditure of a household’s peers causes the household’s own consumption expenditure to increase by 0.42 standard deviations. Falsification tests and robustness checks support the validity of my results. My findings suggest that policies that influence a household’s consumption will also affect the consumption of the household’s peers through social interactions. This implies traditional analyses of consumption intervention programs that do not take into account such spillover effects will understate the total social impact of the programs, and hence lead to inaccurate evaluation of cost-effectiveness of such programs.
摘要本文考察了一个欠发达国家背景下消费中的同伴效应。具体来说,我想要回答的问题是,一个家庭的消费支出是否受到欠发达国家家庭消费支出的影响。为了检验这个问题,我使用了印度最新的家庭数据。我将一个家庭的同伴群体定义为生活在其村庄/社区的其他家庭。在评估这种情况下同伴的影响时,有两个关键的经验挑战,包括共享的群体层面的不可观察性,以及同伴影响的同步性。我通过使用工具变量/固定效应方法来解决这些问题,该方法比较了同一地区但不同村庄/社区的家庭,这些家庭因此暴露于不同的同龄人群体。特别是,我将同行面临的特殊支出冲击(本质上是偶然的、负面的)的貌似外生的变化,作为同行消费支出的工具。优选规范认为,家庭同伴平均消费支出每增加1个标准差,家庭自身消费支出就会增加0.42个标准差。证伪检验和稳健性检查支持我的结果的有效性。我的研究结果表明,影响家庭消费的政策也会通过社会互动影响家庭同伴的消费。这意味着,传统的消费干预项目分析如果没有考虑到这种溢出效应,就会低估项目的总体社会影响,从而导致对此类项目成本效益的不准确评估。

Labor Demand Shocks and Housing Prices Across the Us: Does One Size Fit All? 美国劳动力需求冲击与房价:一种方式适用于所有人吗?
Michael J. Osei, John V. Winters
This paper examines whether effects of labor demand shocks on housing prices vary across time and space. Using data on 321 US metropolitan statistical areas, we estimate the medium- and long-run effects of increases in metropolitan statistical area-level employment and total labor income on housing prices. Instrumental variable estimates for different time periods, and also for coastal, non-coastal, large, and small metropolitan statistical areas are obtained using the shift-share instrument. Results suggest that labor demand shocks have positive effects on housing prices. However, these effects appear to vary across time periods and across different types of metropolitan statistical areas.
本文考察了劳动力需求冲击对房价的影响是否存在时空差异。利用美国321个大都市统计区的数据,我们估计了大都市统计区的就业和总劳动收入增长对房价的中长期影响。使用偏移份额工具获得了不同时间段的工具变量估计,以及沿海、非沿海、大城市和小城市统计区域的工具变量估计。结果表明,劳动力需求冲击对房价有正向影响。然而,这些影响似乎在不同时期和不同类型的大都市统计区域之间有所不同。

Korean Abstract: 가계는 재무목표를 달성하기 위하여 다양한 재무행동을 수행하고 각기 다른 포트폴리오를 보유한다. 구체적이고 장기적인 재무목표는 바람직한 재무적 의사결정의 토대가 된다는 점에서 심층적인 연구가 필요한 분야이다. 본 연구에서는 재무목표를 ‘가계의 재무적 안정과 성장을 위한 재무설계 및 재무행동의 기준’으로 정의하고, 가계가 재무목표를 어떻게 설정하고 있는지를 검토하는 한편 가계 재무상태 평가지표를 활용하여 재무목표의 적절성을 규명함으로써 바람직한 재무목표 설정에 유의미한 시사점을 제공하고자 하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 재무목표 적절성 평가를 위해 각 재무상태 평가지표의 충족여부와 재무목표 설정여부에 따라 가계를 4가지 유형으로 구분했을 때, ‘충분한 노후자금 마련’과 ‘계획적 부채상환’ 외 나머지 유형에서는 재무목표를 설정하지 않은 가계의 비중이 높게 나타났다. 이는 가계 재무목표를 적절하게 설정하지 못한 가계가 상당함을 의미한다. 둘째, 가계의 재무목표 설정에 있어 소득․지출 평가와 정기적 저축여부 등의 재무행동이 유의한 변수로 나타났다. 재무목표를 달성하기 위해서는 기본적으로 가계수지를 충족하고 미래를 위한 준비가 필요하다는 점에서 지출관리행동과 저축행동을 바탕으로 재무적 안정과 성장을 갖춰나가는 가계의 노력이 필요하다고 할 수 있다. 본 연구를 통해 가계의 특성을 고려한 재무목표를 설정하고 체계적인 재무설계와 재무행동을 유도하고 재무적 안정과 성장을 달성하는 재무 포트폴리오 구성을 위한 재무교육의 중요성이 강조될 수 있다. 금융기관에서는 가계의 다양한 재무목표를 고려하여 이를 달성할 수 있도록 돕는 금융상품을 제공하고, 학계 및 실무에서는 가계가 설정한 재무목표에 맞는 재무교육을 시행하는 데 참고자료로 활용할 수 있을 것이다. English Abstract: Households carry out a variety of financial actions and hold different portfolios to achieve their financial goals. Therefore, the financial goal setting of the household warrants further study because it is the basis for financial decision making. In this study, we defined financial goals as "financial planning and financial behavior standards for financial stability and growth of households" and examine how households set financial goals for financial stability and growth. The purpose of this study was to identify the appropriateness of financial targets by using condition indicators and providing significant implications for setting desirable financial targets. The study results are as follows. First, to evaluate the appropriateness of financial objectives, households were classified into four types according to the satisfaction of each financial condition index and financial goal setting. In the other types, except for 'sufficient retirement funding' and 'planned debt repayment,' households that do not set financial targets have a high share, indicating that households that fail to set appropriate household financial targets are significant. Second, financial variables such as income and expenditure evaluation and regular saving were significant in setting financial targets of households. Households need to ensure financial stability and growth based on expenditure management behavior and to follow saving behavior to meet the household balance and prepare for the future. This study emphasizes the importance of financial education capable of establishing financial goals with consideration for household characteristics, systematic financial design, inducing financial behavior, and constructing a financial portfolio that achieves financial stability and growth. Financial institutions will be able to plan and launch financial products to help households achieve various financial goals and to utilize them as reference materials for financial education by the financial goals.
Korean Abstract:家庭为了达到财务目标,执行多样的财务行动,拥有各自不同的有价证券组合。具体而长期的财务目标可以成为理想的财务决策基础,因此是需要进行深层研究的领域。本研究中对“家庭财务目标的财务稳定和成长为财务设计和财务行动的标准”,家庭财务目标定义为讨论如何配置正在利用评价指标的同时,家庭财务状况,查明财务目标的适当性,良好的财务目标设定对那些欲提供意义的启示。研究结果为第一,财务目标适当性评估评价指标是否满足各财务状况和财务目标设定是否按照家庭分为4种类型时,“制定充分的养老资金”和“有计划的负债偿还”外,其余类型未在财务目标的家庭的比重出现了。这意味着没有适当设定家庭财务目标的家庭相当多。第二,在设定家庭财务目标时,收入、支出评价和是否定期储蓄等财务行为是值得注意的变数。要想实现财务目标,基本上需要满足家庭收支,并为未来做准备。从这一点看,家庭需要以支出管理行动和储蓄行动为基础,努力实现财务上的稳定和增长。通过本研究,可以强调财务教育的重要性,以设定考虑家庭特性的财务目标,引导系统的财务设计和财务行动,实现财务上的稳定和成长。金融机关将考虑到家庭的多种财务目标,提供帮助其实现的金融商品,学界及实务则可以作为实施符合家庭设定的财务目标的财务教育的参考资料使用。英语Abstract: Households carry out a variety of financial actions and hold different portfolios to achieve their financial goals。Therefore, the financial goal setting of the household warrants further study because it is the basis for financial decision making。in this study,我们defined financial goals as "financial planning and financial behavior standards for financial stability and growth of households" and examine how households set financial goals for financialstability and growth。The purpose of this study was to identify The appropriateness of financial targets by using condition indicators and providing significant implications for setting desirable financial targets。The study results are as follows。First, to evaluate the appropriateness of financial objectives, households were classified into four types according to the satisfaction of each financial condition index and financial goal setting。In the other types, except for 'sufficient retirement funding' and 'planned debt repayment ' households that do not set financial targets have a high share,indicating that households that fail to set appropriate household financial targets are significant。Second, financial variables such as income and expenditure evaluation and regular saving were significant in setting financial targets of households。Households need to ensure financial stability and growth based on expenditure management behavior and to follow saving behavior to meet the household balance and prepare for the future。This study emphasizes the importance of financial education capable of establishing financial goals with consideration for household characteristics, systematic financial design,inducing financial behavior, and constructing a financial portfolio that achieves financial stability and growth。金融institutions will be able to plan and launch Financial products to help households achieve various Financial goals and to utilize them reference materials for Financial education by thefinancial goals。
