Abstract

The goal of this project is to understand whether differences in sorting patterns over life cycle documented in Borovickova and Shimer (2017) can help us understand the gender wage gap. I study a structural model of life cycle sorting and quantitatively evaluate the contribution of sorting differences to the gender wage gap. When wages are supermodular in worker and firm types, a gender wage gap emerges between better-sorted men and less-well sorted women. Structurally estimating the model will allow me to study a variety of labor market policies, including family leave and provision of childcare services.
