本文研究了工资分配的变化，使用边界，允许非随机选择的影响进入工作。我们表明，最坏情况下的界限可以提供信息。然而，由于联合王国的就业率往往很低，因此无法提供有关教育或性别工资差异变化的信息。因此，我们探索如何收紧这些限制使用经济理论的动机限制。通过这些假设，我们发现了令人信服的证据，证明教育群体内部的不平等现象有所增加，教育差异有所变化，妇女的相对工资有所增加。
This paper examines changes in the distribution of wages using bounds to allow for the impact of non-random selection into work. We show that worst case bounds can be informative. However, since employment rates in the UK are often low they are not informative about changes in educational or gender wage differentials. Thus we explore ways to tighten these bounds using restrictions motivated from economic theory. With these assumptions we find convincing evidence of an increase in inequality within education groups, changes in educational differentials and increases in the relative wages of women.
