Posted by

A new IZA working paper by Gimpelson and Lukiyanova discusses the institutional framework for public sector wage setting in Russia. They apply the switching regression technique that allows correcting for non-random sector selection, and find that there is significant cross-group variation in the wage gap. The paper concludes that wages in the public sector should be linked to private sector wages at the regional level.
