Memorandum from Oslo University, Department of Economics

Abstract: Do wage differences between workers with high and low levels of education, between males and females and between workers with different levels of experience reflect differences in productivity? We address this set of questions on the basis of a data set with variables for individual workers matched with a comprehensive data set for manufacturing plant in Norway for the period 1986-93.
