1.	Testing for Employee Discrimination by Race and Sex Journal of Human Resources 23,1 (Winter 1988): 123-137. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/145848 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: University of Wisconsin Press Keyword(s): Discrimination; Discrimination, Racial/Ethnic; Discrimination, Sex; Occupations, Female; Wages According to the theory of employee discrimination, if members of one group have a taste for discrimination against another group, they will demand a compensating wage premium for working with members of the other group. This study is the first to directly test this theory at the micro level. In an analysis of data from the NLSY, evidence was found that both white and nonwhite youths practice employee discrimination, although the form of this discrimination differs by race. Results hold for both the South and non-South, as well as for the country as a whole. The hypothesis of employee discrimination by sex was also examined but rejected.

2.	Regional Wage Differentials: Has the South Risen Again?: A Comment Review of Economics and Statistics 68,1 (February 1986): 175-178.

In contrast to the findings of Sahling and Smith (1983) that Southern real wages are greater than real wages of comparable workers in other regions, the Southern-non-Southern real wage ratio is estimated at 90 percent from a model with a selectivity bias correction. The Southern-non-Southern wage offer differential is more than twenty- two percent and consists of a 9.7 percent component due to different parameter estimates and a 12.7 portion due to different average characteristics.

3.	The Impact of School and College Expenditures on the Wages of Southern and Non-Southern Workers Journal of Labor Research 7,2 (June 1986): 201-211. Also: http://www.springerlink.com/content/q171506445407012/ Cohort(s): Young Men Publisher: John M. Olin Institute at George Mason University Keyword(s): Earnings; Educational Costs; Educational Returns; Racial Differences; Regions Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Based on previous evidence of diminishing earnings returns to greater educational expenditures, the hypothesis that Southern schools and colleges have greater returns than non-Southern schools and colleges is tested but is not accepted. Per pupil expenditures for both school and college, however, significantly raise earnings for Southern male full-time workers. The elasticity of expenditure with respect to the wage for high school graduates is 0.1212 for Southerners and 0.0360 for non-Southerners, and the elasticity for college expenditure is 0.0468 for Southerners and 0.0260 for non-Southerners.

4.	Wage Patterns of Women Over the Business Cycle Quarterly Review of Economics and Business 30,1 (Spring 1990): 90-101 Cohort(s): Young Men, Young Women Publisher: Bureau of Economic and Business Research, University of Illinois, see Elsevier Science Keyword(s): Business Cycles; Discrimination, Sex; Labor Supply; Modeling, Fixed Effects; Selectivity Bias/Selection Bias; Sex Equality; Wages Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. An investigation is made of the behavior of real wages over business cycles for women. The data source is the NLS of Young Women for the years 1968-1973, 1975, 1977, and 1978. The sample was limited to individuals aged 16 or over who work at least 35 hours per week. The study made 4,053 observations on white women and 1,396 observations on nonwhite women aged 16 to 34. It is shown that young women in the late 1960s and 1970s encountered procyclical real wage behavior as did their male counterparts. White women experienced a 0.4% pay increase and nonwhite women experienced a 0.5% raise when the local unemployment rate declined by 1%. Panel data estimates of a selectivity-adjusted, fixed-effects wage model also reveal significantly greater procyclical real wage behavior for white men than for white women. The procyclical wage patterns are consistent with the Barro-Grossman disequilibrium model and the view that workers with specific training investments prefer wage reductions to layoffs in recessions.
