Abstract: How does globalisation affect occ upational wage gap within developing countries? This paper empirically examines this issue by focusing on two dimensions of globalisation, openness to trade and openness to capital flows, using a relatively new dataset on occupational wages. Estimates from a dynamic model for 37 developing countries spanning the period 1983- 2003 suggest that increased openness to international trade has insignificant effect on wage gap. Increased openness to capital flows appears to be associated with an increase in wage gap in middle-income developing countries during the period of analysis.
