摘要：In this paper we investigate when the male-female wage diﬀerential arises: Does it evolve over the early career or does it exist right from entry into ﬁrst employ- ment? For the analysis we use new administrative longitudinal data for Germany. Models with within ﬁrm job rationing or equilibrium matching show that from entry into the ﬁrst job onwards women will be paid less than men. The main reason is that due to higher quit rates of women, ﬁrms are less willing to invest in ﬁrm speciﬁc training for women. In this paper we document empirically that these models can explain a substantial portion of the gender wage diﬀerentials among young skilled workers in Germany
