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. |
