"Abstract
This
article analyzes wage differences according to whether or not employees
and their supervisors are of the same sex. The mechanism of homophily
predicts that having supervisors of the same sex has a positive effect
on wages. Additionally, we introduce four conflicting theories that
consider group composition as a moderating factor. The hypotheses are
tested with data from the Bavarian Graduate Panel via fixed-effect panel
regressions. Results show that relative group sizes must be considered
in order to see wage differences. These wage benefits emerge in minority
and majority groups for male academics, but women earn less in majority
groups when their supervisor is of the same sex."
