The Public Sector Pay Gap in a Selection of Euro Area CountriesRaffaela GiordanoBank of Italy Domenico DepaloBank of Italy Manuel Coutinho Pereiraaffiliation not provided to SSRN Bruno EugèneNational Bank of Belgium Evangelia PapapetrouBank of Greece Javier J. PerezBank of Spain - Research Department Lukas Reissaffiliation not provided to SSRN Mojca RoterBank of Slovenia November 28, 2011 ECB Working Paper No. 1406 Abstract: We investigate the public-private wage differentials in ten euro area countries (Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Slovenia and Spain). To account for differences in employment characteristics between the two sectors, we focus on micro data taken from EU-SILC. The results point to a conditional pay differential in favor of the public sector that is generally higher for women, at the low tail of the wage distribution, in the Education and the Public administration sectors rather than in the Health sector. Notable differences emerge across countries, with Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain exhibiting higher public sector premia than other countries.
