TL;DR: In this article, the authors used Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) microdata over the 1980-2010 period to provide new empirical evidence on the extent of and trends in the gender wage gap, which declined considerably during this time.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the gender pay gap in the United States and find that gender differences in qualifications and discrimination, and overall wage structure, as well as the rewards for skills and employment in particular sectors, are important factors for gender pay gaps.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide new empirical evidence on the extent of and trends in the gender wage gap, using PSID microdata over the 1980-2010, which shows that women's work force interruptions and shorter hours remain significant in high skilled occupations, possibly due to compensating differentials.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyze how a falling gender wage gap occurred despite changes in wage structure unfavorable to low-wage workers, and find support for the notion of a gender twist in supply and demand having its largest negative effect on high-skilled women.

TL;DR: This article found that more compressed male wage structures and lower female net supply are both associated with a lower gender pay gap, and that the extent of collective bargaining coverage in each country is significantly negatively associated with its gender Pay gap, which suggests that wage-setting mechanisms such as encompassing collective bargaining agreements that provide for relatively high wage floors raise the relative pay of women.
