Abstract: Abstract While most of the empirical literature on the gender pay gap focusses on the variation of the gender pay gap between countries and its evolution over time, an aspect that has attracted far less attention is the regional variation of the gap within the same country. Though many studies use regional information as control variables in the estimations, only few explicitly deal with the gap’s regional dimension.2 However, to our knowledge, there has been made no attempt to systematically investigate regional differences in the gender pay gap and their evolution over time. What is more, there seems to be no economic theory around that readily explains why there should be such differences. We intend to remove both of these omissions.
