Abstract: This paper explores the unintended gendered consequences of varieties of capitalism. It develops a novel micro-logic of gender bias of different skills to explain occupational sex segregation. The central claim of this paper is that specific skills discriminate against women; while general skills are more gender neutral. Coordinated market economies, because of their robust institutional protection of male skill investments, end up exacerbating sex segregation in the market. The empirical section of the paper consists of cross-sectional analyses of 20 advanced industrial countries.
Prepared for the 2005 APSA Annual Meeting in Washington D.C., September 1-4, 2005.

Abstract: This paper explores the unintended gendered consequences of varieties of
capitalism. It develops a novel micro-logic of gender bias of different skills to explain
occupational sex segregation. The central claim of this paper is that specific skills
discriminate against women; while general skills are more gender neutral. Coordinated
market economies, because of their robust institutional protection of male skill
investments, end up exacerbating sex segregation in the market. The empirical section of
the paper consists of cross-sectional analyses of 20 advanced industrial countries.
