摘要：Current policy aims at reducing the gender wage gap within firms yet historically much of the gap is generated bydifferences between workplaces. We use three waves of British matched employer-employee data to show that thecurrent policy is increasingly relevant as the role of inter-workplaces differences has monotonically declined. Suchdifferences contribute 72 percent of the explained gap in 1998 but only 43 percent in 2011. The size of the interestablishmentdifferences moves from larger than the residual within the firm unexplained gap to substantially smaller.
