Explaining Women's Success: Technological Change and the Skill Content of Women's Work (2007, background): “Katz and Murphy (1992), for example, showed changes in product demand associated with shifts in employment toward sectors that are female intensive, and Welch (2000) attributes the closing of the gender wage gap to the expansion in the value of brains relative to brawn.”
International trade, the gender wage gap and female labor force participation (2014, background): “Welch (2000) and Gosling (2003) analyze American and British data, respectively, and read their findings to be consistent with this argument.”
