This article focuses on the use of the error components model to measure the effect of labor market conditions on rate-of-return differentials between races. The statistical procedure used in this study measures business activity by the unemployment rate. In an earnings equation, the interaction between schooling and unemployment rate variables show that schooling rates of return declined as business conditions worsened for blacks.

This study illustrates two avenues through which the business cycle affects the rate of return to schooling. The results show that the degree to which the increased relative black rate of return is attributable to comparative gains in school quality may be overstated. Evidence shows that the relative rate of return for young whites is directly related to the incidence of unemployment.

The Rate of Return to Schooling and the Business Cycle: Additional Estimates

The central purpose of this paper is to illustrate that the business cycle disturbs relative black/white rates of return. This is demonstrated in two ways. First, the authors make note that King's rate of return estimates support the hypothesis that blacks fare relatively poorly in times of high unemployment. Secondly, evidence is presented which corroborates original findings from an earnings function estimated with panel data.
