re: Wage inequality and women

I found the quote from the book. It's on page 17 of Super Freakonomics:

quote:

---

The economists Andrea Ichino and Enrico Moretti, analyzing personnel data from a large Italian bank, found that female employees under forty-five years old tended to miss work consistently on twenty-eight-day cycles. Plotting these absences against employee productivity ratings, the economists determined that this menstrual absenteeism accounted for 14 percent of the difference between female and male earnings at the bank.

ETA: and here's the study citation.

The price of menstruation: see Andrea Ichino and Enrico Moretti, “Biological Gender Differences,
Absenteeism and the Earnings Gap,” American Economic Journal: Applied Economics 1, no. 1 (2009).


anyone have the ability to pull that up?
