Identifying age penalty in women’s wages: new method and evidence from Germany 1984-2014

description "Given theoretical premises, gender wage gap adjusted for individual characteristics is likely to vary over age. We adapt DiNardo, Fortin and Lemieux (1996) semi-parametric technique to disentangle year, cohort and age effects in adjusted gender wage gaps.

Our results indicate that the gender wage gap increases over the lifetime, for some birth cohorts also in the post-reproductive age."
