In the absence of discrimination, there should be no wage-productivity dieren-
tials as relative wages should be equal to the relative marginal productivity levels
of workers. This paper investigates the role of globalization on the structure and
evolution of gender dierentials in China by simultaneously estimating demand-
side wage and productivity outcomes using nonlinear least squares. The analyses
are based on a comprehensive population-wide panel survey of manufacturing rms
between the years of 2004 and 2007, covering 94 percent of total industry output
and providing an accurate representation of labor demand. The results suggest
that more exposure to globalization through increased exports is associated with
lower gender wage-productivity dierentials, and more exposure through increased
foreign investment leads to dierentials in favor of female workers. On the other
hand, gender discrimination is found to be prevalent among domestically owned
and non-exporting rms.
