“…The relationship between the pay gap and the hourly wage quantiles is generally negative. This finding is also observed in previous studies, such as Mueller (1998) for Canada and Lucifora and Meurs (2006) for Italy, France and the UK. As shown in Table 2, interesting points of detail can be discerned.…”

We estimate the public-private sector pay gap for 27 European countries, using the 2008 EU SILC. The coefficients of conditional (on personal and job characteristics) public sector controls give a first impression on wage differences, while decompositions into explained and unexplained components (also accounting for selectivity) allow for a more complete analysis, which helps to identify possible causes of the gap. Regional patterns exist. Separate subsample decompositions based on age, education, gender and occupation, provide interesting insight regarding the pay structure of each country. Quantile decomposition analyses show that the public-private pay gap is, generally, negatively related to income quantiles. JEL classification: J31, J45, J48

“…An example of this type of decomposition of wage differentials at several quantiles of the densities, applied to workers in the public and private sectors, is the work by Mueller (1998).…”

“…The result however is in contrast to the result for developed countries where the private-public wage gap is usually found to be negative and significant (Mueller 1998, Bender 2003, Melly 2005. Usually, public sector jobs provide more fringe benefits than private sector jobs and hence it is important to control for such benefits.…”

This paper tries to document the presence of unreported income among public sector employees in India. We investigate empirically the wage gap as well as consumption expenditure parity between public and private sector workers. It tests the hypothesis that despite a lower level of public sector income in some of the quantiles, if the level of durable goods consumption between the private and the public sector employees are similar, then it might be indicative of the presence of unreported income among the public sector workers. The 2004-05 survey of income and consumption by workers in both private and public sectors (NSSO) supports presence of unaccounted for income among public sector employees at the uppermost quantile. The empirical part is followed by a generalized theoretical formulation that comes up with a measure of the equilibrium level of the unreported income earned by the public sector employees.JEL Classification: C12, C31, D23, J21
