“…We have presented a method to decompose the changes in the wage distribution over a period of time into the various factors that contribute to these changes based on Melly's (2005) Thus, between 1987 and1994, there was an increase in wage inequality, but then in the period after 1994, and unlike many developed countries, Mexico presented a declining wage inequality.…”

Haiske-DeNew The Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) in Bonn is a local and virtual international research center and a place of communication between science, politics and business. IZA is an independent, nonprofit limited liability company (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung) supported by the Deutsche Post AG. The center is associated with the University of Bonn and offers a stimulating research environment through its research networks, research support, and visitors and doctoral programs. IZA engages in (i) original and internationally competitive research in all fields of labor economics, (ii) development of policy concepts, and (iii) dissemination of research results and concepts to the interested public. The current research program deals with (1) mobility and flexibility of labor markets, (2) internationalization of labor markets and European integration, (3) the welfare state and labor markets, (4) labor markets in transition, (5) the future of work, (6) project evaluation and (7) general labor economics.

ABSTRACTEmployer Learning and the Returns to Schooling * * * *We examine the dynamic role of education and experience as determinants of wages. It is hypothesized that an employee's education is an important signal to the employer initially. Over time, the returns to schooling should decrease with labor market experience and increase with initially unobserved ability, since the employer gradually obtains better information on the productivity of an employee. Replicating US studies using data from a large German panel data set (GSOEP), we find no evidence for the employer learning hypothesis for Germany. Differentiating blue-collar and white-collar workers and estimating quantile regressions, however, leads to the conclusion that employer learning takes place for blue-collar workers at the lower end of the wage distribution. We further show, that information on the productivity of an employee is to a large extend private.JEL Classification: J21, J24, J31

“…Many researchers have noted that earnings have risen more rapidly for high-income workers, causing the distribution of earnings to have become more unequal over time (e.g., Buchinsky (1994Buchinsky ( , 1998a; Dickey (2007) ;Gosling, Machin, and Meghir (2000); Juhn, Murphy, and Pierce (1993); Katz and Murphy (1992); Martins and Pereira (2004)). …”
