In this article, published in the acclaimed journal Nature Human Behaviour, Are Skeie Hermansen and co-authors have studied the within-job gender pay inequality. Using linked employer-employee data from 15 countries, their findings show that the process of sorting people into different jobs account for substantially less of the gender pay differences than previously believed and that the within-job pay differences remain consequential. 

In this working paper, Aleksander Madsen, Are Skeie Hermansen and co-author investigate the relationship between workplace concentration of immigrant-origin minorites and turnover among immigrants and second-generation children of immigrants.
