The Distribution of Wages in BelarusFrancesco PastoreSeconda Università di Napoli - Dipartimento di Discipline Giuridiche ed Economiche Italiane Europee e Comparate; Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) Alina VerashchaginaUniversity of Rome "La Sapienza" May 2004 IZA Discussion Paper No. 1140 Abstract: This paper uncovers evidence on the distribution of wages in Belarus in the second half of the 1990s. The returns to education and work experience are high and stable, which is atypical for a transition country. This might be due to the pervasive role of the state in fixing wages in the dominant budget sector, rather than to market forces coming into play. Women experience contained, though largely unexplained discrimination coupled with higher than average returns to education. A wage curve effect is found, which is similar in size to that of other transition countries, but much higher than in market economies.
