Education and Labor Market Discrimination
通过统计歧视和教育分选模型，解释了为什么认知能力相似的黑人比白人获得更多教育，并发现控制AFQT和教育后，黑人与白人之间存在显著的工资差异，且这种差异不能由学校质量差异解释，反映了劳动力市场的运作。
Using a model of statistical discrimination and educational sorting, we explain why blacks get more education than whites of similar cognitive ability, and we explore how the Armed Forces Qualification Test (AFQT), wages, and education are related. The model suggests that one should control for both AFQT and education when comparing the earnings of blacks and whites, in which case a substantial black-white wage differential emerges. We reject the hypothesis that differences in school quality between blacks and whites explain the wage and education differentials. Our findings support the view that some of the black-white wage differential reflects the operation of the labor market.
