dc.description.abstractThe main objective of this paper is to examine the factors which explain the employmentchoice and the wage differentials in the public administration, state owned enterprises andthe formal private wage sector in Turkey. Selectivity corrected wage equations are estimatedfor each sector for men and women separately. Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition of the wagedifferentials between sectors by gender and between men and women by sector are carriedout. Results indicate that when controlled for observed characteristics and sample selection,for men, public administration wages are higher than private sector wages except at theuniversity level where the wages are at par. State owned enterprise wages for men arehigher than private sector wages. Similar results are obtained for women. Further, whilewages of men and women are at parity in the public administration, there is a large genderwage-gap in the private sector in favor of men. Private returns to schooling are found to belower in the noncompetitive public rather than in the competitive private sector.en
