摘要：
We test for wage discrimination and occupational crowding in the nineteenth-century American whaling industry. Although our results indicate little evidence of wage discrimination, we cannot reject the hypothesis that certain groups-specifically blacks and Portuguese-experienced some occupational crowding, though it was by no means complete and the minority-dominated occupations were not low-paying ones. In addition, we find that members of the majority group-white American and Northern European seamen-did accept a negative compensating wage differential for working with members of their own group.
