ECIN Replication Package for Unequal Hiring Wages and their Impact on the Gender Pay Gap.

<p><span>National payroll data from Great Britain reveal that men are paid more than women</span></p><p><span>upon entry into firms. Although this hiring wage gap has narrowed over the past two</span></p><p><span>decades, it still accounts for more than two-thirds of the steady-state gender pay gap – the</span></p><p><span>wage gap that would eventually prevail under constant employment levels. We find that</span></p><p><span>a significant part of this hiring wage gap is not explained by men and women working in</span></p><p><span>different firms and occupations. Even when a firm hires men and women into the same</span></p><p><span>specific occupation at roughly the same time, and accounting for previous work experience,</span></p><p><span>there remains an unexplained hiring wage gap within jobs that favours men by 2.4 log</span></p><p><span>points. These findings suggest that gender pay gap reporting laws that focus exclusively</span></p><p><span>on the overall gaps within employers miss an important margin.</span></p>
