Notes: The figure decomposes the gender gap in total earnings shown in Figure 1 panel A into the respective contributions<br />
of gender gaps in participation, conditional hours, <strong>and</strong> wage rates, following the exact decomposition of equation<br />
3. The decomposition is performed on each country-year subsample. Each component of the decomposition is then<br />
regressed on GDP bin dummies <strong>and</strong> country fixed effects, <strong>and</strong> we report the coefficients for each GDP bin dummy,<br />
following the methodology described in section 2.2. See text for details.<br />
