Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This dissertation consists of three essays.The first essay examines the role of firms in wage dispersion in Senegal, while the other two essays focus on gender earnings inequality in Canada.In the first essay, we collaborate with several Senegalese governmental agencies to build the first longitudinal employer-employee dataset in a Sub-Saharan African country.The resulting linked employer-employee dataset in Senegal covers approximately 10% of total employment and presents an opportunity to extend the existing research on wage-setting in low-income countries.Our findings indicate that the share of wages explained by firms in Senegal is around 30%.The second essay provides evidence of the impact of children on parents' labor market outcomes in Canada, commonly referred to as "child penalties".Using Canadian administrative data, I estimate child penalties for both men across Canadian provinces.I also explore the link between childcare costs and the long-term effects of children on parents' labor market outcomes, using variations of childcare across provinces.Additionally, I use variation introduced by the 2006 Quebec reform to examine the long-run effect of a generous parental leave policy on the earnings and participation of men and women.The third essay examines the role of social interaction in governmental program participation, specifically focusing on the 2006 Quebec Parental Insurance Plan (QPIP).It investigates whether a father's decision to take parental leave is influenced by the i choices made by his co-workers regarding paternity leave.We use the Canadian-matched employer-employee datasets to identify new fathers and their co-workers.The findings reveal that fathers are more inclined to take paternity leave when their male colleagues also opt for parental leave.ii AbrgCette thse est compose de trois essais.Le premier essai examine le r le des entreprises dans la dispersion des salaires au Sngal, tandis que les deux autres essais se concentrent sur l'ingalit des revenus entre les sexes au Canada.Dans le premier essai, nous avons collaborer avec plusieurs agences gouvernementales sngalaises pour construire la premire base de donnes longitudinal appariant employeurs et employs dans un pays d'Afrique subsaharienne.Cette base couvre environ 10 % de l'emploi total et offre une grande opportunit d'tendre nos connaissances sur la fixation des salaires dans les pays faible revenu.Nos rsultats indiquent que la part des salaires explique par les entreprises au Sngal est d'environ 30 %.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
