Our preferred estimator of a Bartolucci-type wage-setting equation (the fixed effects model shown in column 5 of Table 2) suggests that an increase in the share of non-EU workers in a firm is correlated with a modest but significant decrease of the average wage paid in Belgian firms.
In addition, for the individuals of our sample, the average effect of being under-health in 2012 is a decrease of the annual earnings (wages) by 2067.49 euros for males and 1017.78 euros for females (stratification matching method).
The previous output implies that for the individuals of our sample, the average effect of being under-health in 2012 is a decrease of the annual earnings (wages) by 2067.49 euros for males and 1017.78 euros for females.
Impacts of discrimination could be reduced by two ways: government can reduce inequalities and decrease standard deviation of the wage gap or decreasing the mean wage gap.
Many companies which left to China are now trying to establish themselves in Mexico, and it's not to build up, because salaries in China, in spite of the decrease in the wage differential, are still substantially lower.
One additional percentage point of women is associated with a decrease in the wage rank of 8% on the scale from 16 to 1 and 8% in standardized USD.
Not surprisingly, the results reveal a large relation to the share of women in the occupational group: one additional percentage point of women is associated with a decrease in the wage rank of 8% on the scale from 16 to 1. Finally, the percentage of employees in an occupation is associated with a decrease in its wage rank.
A recent study on gender and wages [ 16] found that 'An increase in the percentage of women in an occupation has a large downward effect on its wage rank' (p. 1), with one additional percentage point of women in an occupation being associated with a decrease in the wage rank of 8% in standardized USD (p. 13).
This result highlights the implication of wage taxes on the ability of firms within a country to attract highly skilled CEOs: A decrease in the wage tax rate of a country increases the number of highly skilled CEOs.
