This paper aims to study the wage gap among religions in Lebanon using a random sample. The advantage of using Lebanon as a case is due to its historical diversification. This case excludes any impact of culture, language and immigration. The article uses multiple regression analysis, the Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition, and the quantile distribution regressions to study the wage gap. The signs of our estimated coefficients are as expected. The results show a significant wage gap for Sunnis, and Shias compared to Maronites. Furthermore, we find that the place of work has a significant impact on earnings. The religion wage gap vanishes if a Shia worker is working in Beirut or in the Eastern suburb; or if a Sunni is working in the Eastern Suburb. Finally, the paper shows that the gap is larger in the case of males for Sunnis, but not for Shias. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
