| Abstract: | Utilizing a unique harmonized linked employer-employee dataset, this paper studies the structure and determinants of wage differentials between industries in Central and Eastern European (or CEE) countries (Czech Republic, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland) and compares them to those existing in Western European states. Findings show major differences in earnings between sectors in all countries, even after controlling for a wide range of employee, job and employer characteristics. The wage hierarchy of sectors appears to be quite uniform in Eastern and Western European countries, although the former have a tendency of having higher levels of dispersion of inter-industry wage differentials. |
