Description: This article reports the results of a replication of Bobbitt-Zeher’s 2007 Sociology of Education article “The Gender Income Gap and the Role of Education” based on comparable data from Germany. Models that emulate the original specifications successfully replicate the results. However, models that instead adhere to Bobbitt-Zeher’s theory concerning the gendered effect of family formation call her key finding that “family formation has virtually no effect on the income gap” into question.
