The Covariance Structure of East and West German Incomes and Its Implications for the Persistence of Poverty and Inequality
Evolution of the East German Wage Structure

Pages : 0
Book Description
We analyze the evolution of the wage structure in East Germany over the past two decades and compare it to West Germany. Both regions experienced a rise in wage inequality between 1995 and 2009 with wage dispersion in East Germany exceeding West Germany, esp. at the top. We also show that wage inequality is no longer rising in Germany and has even been declining in East Germany after 2009. Compositional changes of the workforce and selection along the employment margin play only a minor role as does the decline of union coverage for the rise in wage inequality. The adoption of minimum wages in selected industries, in contrast, explains all of the turnaround in East German wage inequality after 2009. Demand side changes seem to account for the rise in wage dispersion at the top.

Decomposing the German East-West Wage Gap
Author: Jan Kluge

Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Wages in East Germany are persistently lower than in West Germany. We study the micro-level determinants of this spatial wage gap, using an Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition and rich linked employer-employee data. In total, up to one half of the aggregate wage differential can be attributed to structural differences in worker, establishment and regional characteristics. Regional price and establishment size differentials alone account for one quarter of the wage gap at the median. Price level differentials are even more relevant towards the top of the wage distribution. Towards the bottom, differences in union coverage become more important. Our findings are quite stable over the period from 1996 to 2010.
