Why Is There Interethnic Variation in the Gender Wage Gap?: The Role of Cultural Factors
分析美国移民中性别工资差距的族裔差异，发现人力资本无法解释全部差异，第一代移民的工资差距与其来源国差距正相关，表明文化因素有影响。
This paper analyzes interethnic variation in the gender wage gap among immigrants in the United States. Controlling for human capital factors does not eliminate interethnic variation in the gender wage gap. Moreover, a positive correlation exists between the gender wage gaps of first generation immigrants and the same gaps in those groups' countries of origin. Although I cannot detect a home country effect for second-and-higher generation immigrants, the pattern for the first generation gap is consistent with a role for cultural factors, in addition to human capital and institutional factors, in explaining why some women earn more relative to men than others.
