Abstract
The AKM model of wage determination was loosely motivated by wage posting models (e.g., Burdett and Mortensen, 1998) that feature a stable wage ladder. Using the AKM model, we looked at gender differences in sorting. Where workers "are at" - their current jobs - has been found to be more important than where they "are from" (previous jobs) in the gender gap in hiring wages.
