Public-private sector pay differentials in a devolved Scotland

Table 3. Pay gap between public and private sector: OLS results

	Males		β^* = β ^pri	Females	β^* = β^pub
	β^* = β^pri	β^* = β^pub	β^* = β ^pri	Females	β^* = β^pub
Predicted log wages	ln Wpub = 2.2380	ln W_pri = 2.0239	ln Wpub = 2.1496		ln W_prri = 1.7358
^ln^w pub ^-^ln^wpri		0.2132 ^**			0.4140 ^**
(X^pub - X^pr )β	0.2270 ^**	0.2215 ^**	0.1892 ^**		0.3802 ^**
	(106.0 %)	(104.0 %)	(46.0 %)		(92.0 %)
X^pr ( β* - β^pr )	-	-0.0082	-		0.0338

χP^ub (βP^u _- β*)	-0.0138	-	0.2248 ^**
	(-6.0 %)		(54.0 %)		-

Note: Cross-section weights applied. ^*,^**, and ^*** denote significance at 10%, 5% and 1% respectively. Standard errors in parentheses, where OLS standard
errors are robust and the s.e. for the remaining models are bootstrapped. (N) refers to normal, (P) to percentile, and (BC) to bias corrected confidence
intervals (1000 replications).
