Pay Premiums for Economic Sector and Race: A Decomposition Social Science Research 9,3 (September 1980): 245-272. Also: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0049089X80900149 Cohort(s): Older Men Publisher: Academic Press, Inc. Keyword(s): Dual Economic Theory; Job Skills; Public Sector; Unions; Wages This study examines two issues concerning a dual economy theory of labor markets. First, the economic sectors are analyzed for the degree to which differences in rates of pay are accounted for by sector differences in: human capital composition, unionization, occupational skill requirements and other factors producing an ability and willingness to pay high wages. The primary factors that produce a pay premium in the monopoly sector are its willingness to pay high wages and its higher levels of unionization. Second, the results of a decomposition by race show that contrary to prior research, blacks are found to be relatively more disadvantaged in the competitive sector. |
