This paper provides new evidence on the wage gap between informal and formal salary workers
in South Africa, Brazil and Mexico. We use rich datasets that allow us to de fine informality in a
relatively comparable fashion ...

We estimate the public wage gap in France for the period 1990-2002, both at the mean and
at different quantiles of the wage distribution, for men and women separately. We account for

We estimate the wage penalty associated with working in the South African informal sector. To this end we use a rich data set on non-self employed males that allows one to accurately distinguish workers employed in the ...

The data on employment and pay in the public sector in the OECD countries which are contained in Vol. II of the OECD "National Accounts Statistics" are used to compare public sector employment in Ireland with that in the ...
