The Impact of Children on Married Women's Labor Supply: Black-White Differentials Revisited
利用1982年全国家庭增长调查数据，检验了子女对已婚女性劳动供给的抑制效应在种族间的差异，发现高教育群体中黑白差异较小。
Previous studies have documented that the depressing effect of children on labor supply is greater for white wives than for their black counterparts. The present paper examines the hypothesis that this difference by race is less pronounced in the highly educated segments of the population. Multinomial logit estimates of a labor supply model using data from the 1982 National Survey of Family Growth are consistent with the hypothesis.
