Popis: This study, using matched employer–employee data, analyses gender differences in rent sharing. Results indicate significantly smaller remuneration from firm profits for women, a difference that increases along the wage distribution. Gender differences in rent sharing explain less than 2% of mean gender wage differentials as differences are found in remuneration from firm profit and not in the mean profit levels of employing firms.
