abstract = {In this paper we investigate the importance of labor market institutions such as
unemployment insurance, unions, firing regulation and minimum wages for the evolution of
wage inequality across countries. We derive a simple log-linear equation of the wage
differential as a function of the institutional parameters, total factor productivity, final good
prices and relative skill supply. Our estimates for 11 OECD countries imply that labor market
institutions can account for a large part of the change of wage inequality across countries
after controlling for time and country effects.},
