摘要：A model of the new growth theory type is applied to the persistence of racial income differentials in the presence of community segregation. When community human capital affects human capital accumulation by individuals, differences between groups can persist indefinitely, even in the absence of current discrimination. Intercommunity mobility can benefit advantaged minority workers, who leave behind an impoverished ghetto. Workplace integration without community integration may not lead to equ...

摘要：This article studies interfirm racial segregation in two newly developed firm-level databases. We find that the interfirm distribution of black and white workers is close to what would be implied by random assignment. We also find that black workers are clustered in employers where managers, owners, and customers are also black. These findings may be reconciled by the facts that (a) there are not enough black employers to generate much segregation and that (b) other forces may systematically i...

摘要：Do competitive markets remove the effect of social norms on market outcomes? Or are norms capable of exerting a persistent influence! In this article we report the results of a series of competitive market and bilateral bargaining experiments. They indicate that the norm of reciprocity gives rise to wages that are persistently above the competitive level. Moreover, wages under bilateral bargaining conditions coincide with wages in competitive markets, indicating that competition has a limited ...

摘要：This article reexamines the negative seniority-earnings relationship for academic economists. The empirical results show that the anomalous negative seniority effect found in earlier academic market studies holds in the absence of direct measures of research productivity. The negative effect, however, eventually disappears as more comprehensive measures of publishing, citations, and other productivity measures are included in the wage equation to control for the quantity and quality of faculty...

摘要：Using multinomial probit estimates of the probability of job-to-job and job-to-nonemployment turnover, I find that differences between women's and men's turnover are due to the behavior of less educated women. Both the job-to-job and job-to-nonemployment turnover of less educated women are significantly different from that of more educated women as well as both groups of men. I also find that distinguishing between types of turnover-job-to-job versus job-to-nonemployment-is quite important, pa...

摘要：This article considers the estimation of the structure of wages in union and nonunion sectors. It proposes an estimator that extends standard panel data techniques to the case in which the return to the permanent component of the error term is differently rewarded in the two sectors. The econometric model is used to estimate the effect of unions on both the level and the variance of wages in Canada. The findings indicate that unions increase the average wage of workers and compress the returns...

摘要：Using Italian Social Security records for male workers from a sample of firms in Turin from 1981 to 1983, we show that conditional on the worker's own wage the average wage in the establishment for similar workers is negatively related to quits. We also find that this variable predicts future wage growth. This is consistent with an economic model in which workers compare the long-run value of employment opportunities when making quit decisions.
