本文评估了经济和法律变量对男女工资差异的影响。自贝克尔（Becker，1957）以来，经济学家一直认为，从长远来看，竞争性市场消除了歧视。另一方面，几乎所有国家都颁布了某种法律，规定男女待遇平等。本文使用了关于性别工资差距的新国际数据集，该数据集是通过对现有研究的荟萃分析而构建的。研究结果表明，竞争的加剧和平等待遇法的颁布都缩小了性别工资差距。
This paper evaluates the impact of economic and legal variables on wage differentials between men and women. Since Becker (1957) economists have argued that competitive markets eliminate discrimination in the long run. On the other hand, practically all countries have enacted some sort of law mandating equal treatment of men and women. This paper uses a new international data set on the gender wage gap, which is constructed via a metaanalysis of existing studies. The findings show that both increased competition and the enactment of equal treatment laws reduce the gender wage gap.
