Some information on the session logistics:
If not stated otherwise, the discussant is the following speaker, with the first speaker being the discussant of the last paper. The last speaker of each session is the session chair. (Exception: invited sessions)
Presenters should speak for no more than 20 minutes, and discussants should limit their remarks to no more than 5 minutes. The remaining time should be reserved for audience questions and the presenter’s responses. We suggest following these guidelines also in the (less common) 3-paper sessions in a 2-hour slot, to allow participants to move between sessions. Discussants are encouraged to avoid summarizing the paper. By focusing on a few questions and comments, the discussants can help start a broader discussion with the audience.
Only registered participants can attend this conference. Further information available on the congress website https://www.iseg.ulisboa.pt/en/event/iipf/ .

The Role of Industries and Occupations in the Evolution of Wage Inequality 1: Roma Tre, Italy; 2: IAB, Germany; 3: DIW Berlin, Germany This paper studies the evolution of wage inequality in Germany between 1985 and 2020 using matched employer-employee data. We analyze wage dynamics across 272 industries and four task-based occupational groups, constructing 993 industry–occupation cells consistently observed over 35 years. Total wage variance rose by 9 log points, with about two-thirds of the increase driven by widening differences between 22 cells. These mainly comprise non-routine abstract occupations in high-paying industries and non-routine manual occupations in low-paying sectors. The disproportionate contribution of these 22 cells reflects their employment concentration, growing polarization in relative wages, and stronger assortative matching between workers and firms. Overall, our findings show that rising wage inequality cannot be explained by firms or industries alone. Instead, it is the interaction between industrial structure and occupational tasks that plays a central role in shaping the growth of wage dispersion.
