WP3 Rough Draft: Bibliography

Dear Professor Han,

              My name is David Cucinotta, a first-year PennState Abington student, and one of the biggest fans of your research in gender wage equality in the business field. I am looking to begin an ACURA project based off your research, as well as similar research, on how males and females are paid unequally in the business discipline. Finding a solution to this problem is something I’d love to find, especially with a professor with prestigious ranking such as yourself. I would appreciate a response on this matter as soon as possible, and the latest I can receive an acceptance of your dedication towards this ACURA project is December 1^st. Thank you for taking your time reading this request, and thank you for your rigorous research in this delicate area of the business discipline.

Gupta, Vishal, et al. “Do Women Ceos Face Greater Shareholde Activism Compared To Male Ceos.” Grading Global Boards of Directors on Cybersecurity, corpgov.law.harvard.edu/2017/11/07/do-women-ceos-face-greater-shareholder-activism-compared-to-male-ceos-a-role-congruity-perspective/#more-102583. 

              Gupta, as well as several other well-known researchers and professors, comment on the importance of examining as many details as possible when it comes to researching more on this topic. There are several variables which can be included as to why there is a difference in productivity between Male and Female CEO’s. They argue that females hold more expectations than males in many high-ranking business titles, such as CEO.

Aizer, Anna. "The Gender Wage Gap and Domestic Violence." The American Economic Review, vol. 100, no. 4, 2010, pp. 1847-1859.

              Aizer explains how the current gender wage gap contributes to the thousands of domestic violence cases across the world. She goes on to examine the areas in the world which have the highest domestic violence cases and saw if there were trends representing that more domestic violence equals higher percentages of unequal pay between the two genders. She ends her research with information on the topic which I have yet to see elsewhere; that there are examples of there being high levels of domestic violence where unequal pay was reported heavily.

Oostendorp, Remco H. "Globalization and the Gender Wage Gap." World Bank Economic Review, vol. 23, no. 1, 2009, pp. 141-161.

              Oostendorp discusses the fact that wage gaps have become a “norm” across the world, and the things that seem to be holding many women back in different areas across the world. This wage gap is no longer a domestic conversation, Oostendorp insists, it exists worldwide in many different negative possibilities.

Bartolucci, Cristian. "Gender Wage Gaps Reconsidered: A Structural Approach using Matched Employer-Employee Data." Journal of Human Resources, vol. 48, no. 4, 2013, pp. 998-1034.

              Bartolucci reviews the ways in which employer and employee data shows how the gender of the position affects/doesn’t affect the outcome. The differences in production between male and female managers and male and female employees is thoroughly discussed throughout the writing. He identifies the production rates among each position, what they should be, as well as explains what they actually mean.

Cohen, Philip N., and Matt L. Huffman. "Working for the Woman? Female Managers and the Gender Wage Gap." American Sociological Review, vol. 72, no. 5, 2007, pp. 681-704.

              Another article which reviews the output a female manager produces, Cohen showed how much of an actual difference it creates when having a specific gender at a higher ranking position than not.

 Balcar, Jiří, and Veronika Hedija. "Influence of Female Managers on Gender Wage Gap and Returns to Cognitive and Non-Cognitive Skills." Gender, Work & Organization, 2018.

              Reviewing cognitive skills and how mentally suite a person’s mind is should be something most companies do before hiring a person, yet it shouldn’t be put in effect on a person just based on their gender. Balcar and Hedija express their concern with what they believe female managers influence companies to do, such as test their cognitive/non-cognitive skills.  

Palomino, Frédéric, and Eloïc-Anil Peyrache. "Psychological Bias and Gender Wage Gap." Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization, vol. 76, no. 3, 2010, pp. 563-573.

              Palomino, Frederic, and Eloic-Anil Peyrache all go into detail about how the gender wage gap can affect one’s psychological aspect in the workplace. They tell their readers how they believe females feel when paid less than a male; that they aren’t good enough.
