Recent two-stage sample selection procedures with an application to the gender wage gap Academic Article

abstract

• Recently developed two-stage estimation methods of sample selection models are used, in the context of data from the 1989 Labor Market Activity Survey, to examine labor supply decisions and wage outcomes for employed men and women. Recent hypothesis test procedures are used to test for no sample selection and to test for a parametric against a semiparametric selection-correction procedure. We conclude that selection is indeed an issue for the sample at hand and that the semiparametric specification is appropriate. We also present the standard decomposition of the gender wage gap into its explained and unexplained portions.
