New Facts and Hot Stats from the Social Sciences Washington Post, December 18, 1994, Outlook; Pg. C5 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Washington Post Keyword(s): Economics of Minorities; I.Q.; Racial Differences; Test Scores/Test theory/IRT; Wage Gap Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This article reports on arguments made against Murray and Herrnstein's "The Bell Curve," a study which utilized NLSY79 data. Carnoy's study, based on "much of the same data as Herrnstein and Murray," maintains that Asian-American's high test scores prove that the wage gap is not solely based on race or I.Q. Thomas argues that the NLSY79 data relied on in "The Bell Curve" only tracked people into their twenties, whereas wage disparities based on race typically become more pronounced when an individual is in his or her thirties. |
