Assume that male and female workers are exactly the same except that men have 20 years of experience and women have 10. If both male and female wages are determined by the function W = 15 + 0.25E where W is the wage and E is years of experience, what is the gender wage gap in this situation. Draw this situation on a well-labeled graph. Would traditional human capital theory say that any discrimination is going on? Explain briefly.
