摘要

生育和随后离开劳动力市场是女性平均收入低于男性的主要原因。本文使用关联调查和来自美国的行政数据来调查公司高管的性别构成(被定义为最高收入者)是否影响新妈妈的收入和就业结果。我们首先记录了(i)在女性高管比例较大的行业中,男女收入差距较小;(ii)在女性高管比例增长较大的行业中,男女收入差距下降得更多。尽管存在这些横断面和纵向相关性,但我们没有发现证据表明公司高管的性别构成对影响女性收入和就业的生育和母亲惩罚有因果关系。关键词:母性惩罚,男女薪酬差距JEL分类:J16, M50

Female Executives and the Motherhood Penalty
Childbirth and subsequent breaks from the labor market are a primary reason why the average earnings of women is lower than that of men. This paper uses linked survey and administrative data from the United States to investigate whether the sex composition of executives at the firm, defined as the top earners, affects the earnings and employment outcomes of new mothers. We begin by documenting that (i) the male-female earnings gap is smaller in industries in which a larger share of executives are women, and (ii) the male-female earnings gap has declined more in industries that have experienced larger increases in the share of executives who are female. Despite these cross-sectional and longitudinal correlations, we find no evidence that the sex composition of the executives at the firm has a causal effect on the childbirth and motherhood penalties that impact women's earnings and employment. Keyword: motherhood penalty, male-female pay gap JEL Classification: J16, M50
