Wages of foreign and native employees in Germany: New light on an old issue

Project duration: 16.10.2017 to 30.06.2020

Abstract

This paper aims to shed new light on the decomposition of the wage gap between foreign and native full-time employees. Using the Mincerian wage equation and the threefold Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition reveals that the wage gap is mostly explained by observable characteristics (endowments), especially location, labour market experience and firm characteristics.
