TY - JOUR T1 - The Phantom Gender Difference in the College Wage Premium JF - Journal of Human Resources JO - J Hum Resour SP - 568 LP - 586 DO - 10.3368/jhr.46.3.568 VL - 46 IS - 3 AU - William H. J. Hubbard Y1 - 2011/07/01 UR - http://jhr.uwpress.org/content/46/3/568.abstract N2 - A growing literature seeks to explain why so many more women than men now attend college. A commonly cited stylized fact is that the college wage premium is, and has been, higher for women than for men. After identifying and correcting a bias in estimates of college wage premiums, I find that there has been essentially no gender difference in the college wage premium for at least a decade. A similar pattern appears in quantile wage regressions and for advanced degree wage premiums. ER -
