Abstract

This paper investigates the differences in the wage premium and compliance with the wage cut introduced in Serbia at the end of 2014, between two subsectors of the public sector: the state sector and state-owned enterprises. Results show that before the austerity measures were introduced, the conditional wage premium was, on average, higher in state-owned enterprises than in the state sector, with significant differences from the median to the top of the wage distribution. After the austerity measures were introduced, the wage differences between the subsectors deepened, due to lower compliance of state-owned enterprises with the wage cut.
