Essays on Statistical Discrimination and on the Payoff to Publishing in Economics Journals Ph.D. Dissertation, Department of Economics, Vanderbilt University, 2010 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: ProQuest Dissertations & Theses (PQDT) Keyword(s): Armed Forces Qualifications Test (AFQT); Discrimination; Discrimination, Racial/Ethnic; Racial Equality/Inequality; Skills; Wage Gap; Wages Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This dissertation is comprised of three essays. The first essay tests the empirical validity of a statistical discrimination model that incorporates employer's race. I show that if an employer statistically discriminates less against an employee that shares the same race (match) than an employee who does not share the same race (mismatch), then a match employee's wage correlates with measures of skill (AFQT) more than a mismatch employee's wage. Using data from the NLSY97, which includes information about the racial background of employees and their supervisors, I find support for this prediction for young black and white male employees after controlling for sample selection. The second essay tests whether the theoretic model that explains the racial wage gap can also explain the gender wage gap. Specifically, I test whether the correlation between AFQT and wage is stronger for a employer-employee couple that shares the same gender than for a couple with opposite genders. I find that the data does not support this hypothesis. |

Statistical Discrimination and the Implication of Employer-Employee Racial Matches Journal of Labor Research 36,2 (June 2015): 232-248. Also: http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12122-015-9203-2 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Springer Keyword(s): Armed Forces Qualifications Test (AFQT); Discrimination, Racial/Ethnic; Racial Equality/Inequality; Supervisor Characteristics; Wage Levels Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. In this paper, I test the empirical validity of a statistical discrimination model that incorporates employer's race. I argue that if an employer statistically discriminates less against an employee that shares the same race (matched) than an employee who does not share the same race (mismatched), then the correlation between the employee's wage and his skill level (AFQT) is stronger for a matched employee than for a mismatched employee. Using data from the NLSY97, which includes information about the racial background of employees and their supervisors, I find evidence that is consistent with a statistical discrimination model for young male employees. |

The Effects of an Increase in Minimum Wage on Labor Market Transitions: Evidence from NLSY Working Paper, Department of Economics, Claremont Graduate University, October 2015 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Claremont Colleges Working Paper in Economics Keyword(s): Labor Force Participation; Layoffs; Minimum Wage Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This study tests the effects of a change in the binding real minimum wage on the likelihoods of hiring and separation. The findings suggest that an increase in the real minimum wage is associated with a reduction in the hiring rates that is mediated by a reduction in the likelihood of separation. The final results are a small and noisy decrease in the likelihood of employment and an increase in the likelihood of layoffs. The findings support an incomplete information model where employers pay a stochastic sunk cost at hiring. |

Promotions and Race: An Analysis of Wage Returns and Job Satisfaction Labour: Review of Labour Economics and Industrial Relations published online (24 November 2019): DOI: 10.1111/labr.12169. Also: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/labr.12169 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Blackwell Publishing, Inc. => Wiley Online Keyword(s): Job Promotion; Job Satisfaction; Racial Differences; Wage Gap; Wages Using a nationally representative sample of workers in the United States, we find evidence to suggest the wage returns to promotions for black males are about 48 per cent of the wage returns that white males earn. As black males earn, on average, significantly less than white males, the gap in the wage returns to promotions creates a larger impact on the absolute returns. Despite the racial gap in the monetary reward to a promotion, we do not find evidence to suggest that black males are less satisfied with their job following a job promotion compared with white males. |
