To answer questions regarding the identifiability of sex differences, both the labor market (governing wages and occupations) as well as the human capital market (governing educational choices and on-the-job training) are analyzed separately, within simultaneous equation settings. While the author finds sex differences in levels of labor market experience and education, human capital differences may themselves stem from discrimination either in the human capital market or in expectations of sex discrimination in the labor market.
