The gender income gap and the role of family formation revisited
نویسنده
چکیده
This article reports the results of a replication of Bobbitt-Zeher’s 2007 article “The Gender Income Gap and the Role of Education”. Models that emulate the original specifications (by and large) reproduce the original results. However, models that adhere to Bobbitt-Zeher’s theory concerning the gendered effect of family formation call into question her finding that “values appear to matter only modestly, while family formation has virtually no effect on the income gap”.
