Abstract: | According to raw data from the British Household Panel Survey, full-time women are more likely than men to be promoted. Controlling for observed and unobserved individual heterogeneity, this paper finds that women are promoted at roughly the same rate as men, but may receive smaller wage increases consequent on promotion. To help explain these phenomena, this paper constructs a new "sticky floors" model of pay and promotion. In this model, women are just as likely as men to be promoted but find themselves stuck at the bottom of the wage scale for the new grade. |
