  abstract = {{S}everal empirical studies have found larger gender pay gaps at the upper tail of the wage distribution in developed countries, the so-called glass ceiling effect. {I}n this paper, we investigate the relevance of the glass ceiling hypothesis in {M}orocco using a matched worker-firm data set of more than 8,000 employees and 850 employers working in the manufacturing sector. {W}e estimate linear and quantile earnings regressions with controls for unobserved firm heterogeneity and perform a quantile decomposition. {W}e also focus on the within-firm gender earnings gap using information on the firms' characteristics. {O}ur results show that the gender earnings gap is higher at the top of the distribution than at the bottom. {F}urthermore, the gender gap widens in the upper tail of the earnings distribution when controlling for firm fixed effects.},
