1.	Wage Differences among Black and White Career Women Review of Social Economy (April 1977) Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: Association for Social Economics Keyword(s): Career Patterns; Discrimination, Racial/Ethnic; Racial Differences; Wage Differentials; Wages, Women The structure of wages of career women is examined by attempting to evaluate the differential impact in human capital and labor market structure upon the wage rates of career women and on the racial earnings gap within this group. The results support the following two hypotheses: (1) differences in human capital and in the distribution of labor market characteristics were shown to be basic determinants of interpersonal wage differences of career women; and (2) differences in racial endowments of human capital and labor market structure accounted for most of the observed wage differences among black and white career women.

Using detailed NLSY data we examine the effects of a number of variables often thought to explain a large part of these gaps. Because the new variables explain some of the differentials our results provide no justification for ascribing all the remaining differentials to discrimination. On the other hand, they explain very little and therefore give no support to those who would discount the possibility of discrimination.

In addition, both women and men face the risk of occasional interruptions in their labor force participation when they are unable to find a job. In this study we use the NLSY79 data to investigate the long run effects on earnings of dropping out of the labor force and/or of being unemployed during the first 15 years of the careers of men and women firmly attached to the labor force, with particular attention to the importance of the timing of these interruptions. After controlling for numerous relevant factors, we find no significant negative impact on wage growth associated with time out of the labor force either early on or later, but do find that unemployment during the second half of the period has such effects both for men and for women.

Also: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00346764.2018.1525760 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Taylor & Francis Group Keyword(s): Educational Costs; Financial Assistance; Wage Gap Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Using model in which the assignment of skills to tasks is determined by relative productivities and are endogenously determined by ability, access to higher education, and technology, I find the effect of different educational aid schemes (including need-based aid, merit-based aid, or a combination of the two) on the distribution of wages. I calibrate the model using NLSY97 data and find that in general, determining what policy minimizes inequality depends on the elasticities of demand for higher education of each ability/human capital group, the labor shares of each group, and the share of resources devoted to each group. Given the model parameters, both merit-based and need-based policies are preferred to a policy based on both merit and need. Moreover, under the model parameters, a need-based policy reduces wage inequality more than a merit-based policy.

The dependent variable was length of poverty spell after divorce. The results indicate that the strongest and most consistent positive predictor of poverty is number of children, while current market hours and wages were significant negative predictors. In the human capital model, education and job tenure were also significant. The results in the decomposition of the tobit results indicate that for each subsample (by race and age), the majority of the changes in the length of poverty spell were caused by changes in the probability of being thrust into poverty initially, not by changes in length once a woman was classified as poor.

6.	Does Married Women's Market Work Affect Marital Stability Adversely? An Intercohort Analysis Using NLS Data Review of Social Economy 60,1 (March 2002): 71-92. Also: http://taylorandfrancis.metapress.com/link.asp?id=jd2v0yjy24gheqy8 Cohort(s): NLSY79, Young Women Publisher: Association for Social Economics Keyword(s): Divorce; Employment; Marriage; Women Over most of the twentieth century, the U.S. has witnessed considerable increases in divorce rates. Conventional economic literature believes that married women's entry into market work may have contributed to this by decreasing the gains from marriage arising from specialization between spouses. However, since the 1980s, divorce rates have ceased to increase though married women's labor supply continues to rise, suggesting that the relationship has changed across time and birth cohorts. Here I use two cohorts of women, those born between 1944-1954 and those born between 1957-64, to test whether this is the case. My findings indicate that the detrimental effect of married women's market work on marital stability has indeed decreased substantially across cohorts, and such work may even be beneficial to marital stability among the recent cohort. Therefore, it appears that women's market work can no longer be held culpable for the breaking up of American families.
