| Abstract: |
Prior research has linked the decentralization of collective bargaining to increased wage differences between men and women and among employees with different levels of education. I study the causal effect of decentralization on wage differences among different employee groups using administrative data on monthly wages and the synthetic difference-in-differences method. I find no evidence of decentralization leading to larger wage differences between men and women or among different educational groups. However, I find some evidence of increased differences among different age groups. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
