Economics Letters, 2013, vol. 119, issue 3, 348-350

Abstract: We find that increasing the female share in first-level management by 10% points decreases the unexplained within-job gender pay gap by 0.5 log points. The effect is more pronounced for the female share in second-level than in first-level management.
