| Abstract: | The authors investigate the determinants of wages in Zambia and based on the quantile regression approach, the authors analyse how their effects differ at different points in the wage distribution and over time. The authors use three cross-sections of Zambian household data from the early nineties, which was a period of economic transition, because items as privatisation and deregulation were on the political agenda. The focus is placed on the public-private sector wage gap, and the results show that this gap was relatively favourable for the low-skilled and less favourable for the high-skilled. This picture was further strengthened during the period 1991-1996. |
