Join us for the next SITE Seminar! On March 25, 2025, Marta Lachowska (W.E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Research) will present a working paper on "The Unequal Impact of Firms on the Gender Wage Gap". The study, co-authored with an international team of researchers, examines the role of firms in shaping gender wage disparities across the United States and 10 European countries. The findings highlight the influence of firm wage premiums, gender differences in pay-setting, and the sorting of women into lower-wage firms.
