Description
The project will use a unique combination of novel firm-level and worker-level surveys together with administrative records to shed new light on how wages are set. In particular, it will provide direct evidence on the process through which workers and firms bargain over wages, and how this process affects wage inequality in the labor market, such as the gender pay gap.
