| Abstract: | This paper studies the effect on wage dispersion of structural change. Unlike previous studies, I use a fully nomparametric model to isolate the effect of changing relationships in the wage structure from changes in wage premia. The results show that increase in within groups inequality accounts for most of the increase in wage dispersion from 1980 to 1985. The rest must be mainly attributed to price changes in the labor market, but not to changes in the interaction of the workers' characteristics. |
