    This paper analyzes the role of information in a market setting where consumers feel altruism towards workers and derive a warm-glow from buying products of firms that pay their workers at least a fair wage. Symmetric pure-strategy equilibria are analyzed in a random utility model with a continuum of consumers and n firms. When wages are observable, workers receive a socially-optimal wage level. ...

    Abstract: Since 1990s it is observed that gender segregation in occupations in Germany declines. At the same time, gender pay gap in Germany diminishes. According to the task-based approach, such a dynamic of gender pay gap can be explained by increasing proficiency of women in non-routine cognitive tasks, as well as falling fraction of routine tasks performed by women. As non-routine cognitive ...

Analyses are carried out using register-based Danish data. We find that higher ...
