1.	Incorporating Occupational Attainment in Studies of Male-Female Earnings Differentials Journal of Human Resources 15,1 (Winter 1980): 3-28. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/145344 Cohort(s): Mature Women, Older Men Publisher: University of Wisconsin Press Keyword(s): Blue-Collar Jobs; Discrimination, Sex; Earnings; Occupational Attainment; White Collar Jobs This study focuses on determining the extent to which differences between males and females in hourly wages are due to differences in occupational distribution versus unequal pay within occupational categories, and to what extent these differences in occupation and wages are explainable by differences between the sexes in observed attributes. The results show that only 14 to 17 percent of the total wage differential is attributable to differences in endowments. Most of the unexplained difference in overall wages arises from unexplained differences in wages within the broad occupational categories rather than from unexplained differences in occupational distributions.

2.	Occupational Attainment and Segregation by Sex Industrial and Labor Relations Review 33,4 (July 1980): 506-517. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/2522696 Cohort(s): Mature Women, Older Men Publisher: New York State School of Industrial and Labor Relations, Cornell University Keyword(s): Discrimination, Sex; Occupational Attainment; Occupational Segregation; Occupations, Female; Occupations, Male The authors use multinomial logit and multiple discriminant analyses to predict the probabilities that an individual will attain each of several occupational categories based on the individual's characteristics and qualifications. By estimating the parameters of this model from a sample of men and then applying them to a sample of women, the authors simulate the occupational distribution that these women would have attained had they been treated as if they were men. Even after making adjustments for taste differences between men and women, the authors find that their hypothetical results vary substantially from women's actual occupational distribution. They conclude that a significant proportion of occupational segregation by sex can be attributed to discrimination.

3.	Health, Obesity, and Earnings American Journal of Public Health 70,9 (September 1980): 1006-1009. Also: http://ajph.aphapublications.org/cgi/content/abstract/70/9/1006 Cohort(s): Older Men Publisher: American Public Health Association Keyword(s): Earnings; Health Factors; Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Published reports and economic theory suggest that workers' earnings may be affected by their degree of obesity. The purpose of this research was to estimate the size of such an effect. The earnings-obesity hypothesis was tested with data from the NLS of Older Men. Results suggest that, for members of that sample, there is no earnings depressant effect due to obesity.

4.	The Role of the Family in the Economic Well-being of the Elderly Gerontologist 23,1 (February 1983): 45-50. Also: http://gerontologist.oxfordjournals.org/content/23/1/45.full.pdf+html Cohort(s): Older Men Publisher: Gerontological Society of America Keyword(s): Family Resources; Income; Transfers, Family; Transfers, Private; Transfers, Public; Well-Being An overview of the size and importance of private transfers of resources among relatives, based on information from the National Longitudinal Survey of Older Men and the Michigan Panel Survey of Income Dynamics, is provided, and the likely tradeoffs between public and private transfers are estimated. The results of the overview illustrate the direct effect of private transfers on economic well-being. Families of all income levels and of all ages participate, albeit in different ways, in intrafamily transfers. The logit analysis of the determinants of family resource sharing suggest further the impact of age, income, and welfare recipiency. The impact of tradeoffs between public and private transfers depend on the income elasticity of private transfers and the characteristics of families participating in resource sharing. Public policy targeted at raising the incomes of a particular age group may be hampered by offsetting private transfers. [AgeLine]
