Abstract: Using a representative panel of French GPs and a representative panel of French topexecutives observed both between 1980 and 2004, we compare the discounted value ofcumulated earnings of GPs and top executives over their career. We take into account thatGPs begin their career later than top executives, given the length of their studies. We findno monetary advantage to be a GP: there is no significant difference between thediscounted cumulated earnings of GPs and top executives between 24 and 50 years old.This result is maintained when we simulate the careers until the age of 60.
