| Abstract | This paper investigates gender as a new source of heterogeneity in the urban wage premium, using a representative panel of 1.2 million worker observations in Great Britain over the period 1999-2019. Pre-2008, women’s urban wage premium was more than twice as large as men’s (2.8% versus 1.2%), but this difference disappears during the Financial Crisis as women’s urban wage premium drastically and permanently drops. This drop is due to the disappearance of women’s relative sharing advantages. Moreover, contrary to men, women’s urban wage premium is now driven by a wage penalty incurred when changing occupation while transitioning from urban to rural jobs. |
