SUMMARY:Nicola Fuchs-Schündeln - Goethe University Frankfurt
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:\n\nDoes the Gender Composition of an Occupation Affect Wages?\n\n\nAbstrac
 t:\nWe analyze whether an increase in the female share of an occupation cau
 sally leads to lower relative wages for both male and female workers in tha
 t occupation by exploiting the natural experiment of German reunification a
 s an exogenous shock to female shares. When the Berlin Wall fell, East Germ
 an women were not only more likely to participate in the labor market than 
 their West German counterparts, but were also distributed differently acros
 s occupations. Using the gendered potential labor supply shock in an occupa
 tion caused by reunification as an instrument for the change in the actual 
 gender composition in the West before and after reunification, we document 
 that an increase in the female share causally leads to lower wages for both
  men and women working in the respective occupation. The evidence is in lin
 e with the “devaluation hypothesis” developed in the sociological literatur
 e.\n
