The Ethnic Employment and Income Gap in Sweden: Is Skill or Labor Market Discrimination the Explanation?*
研究利用瑞典18岁男性军事入伍认知测试分数，分析族裔就业和收入差距是由技能差距还是歧视导致，发现控制认知分数不影响就业差距，但几乎消除收入差距。
Abstract This study uses a cognitive test score, the Swedish Military Enlistment test taken at age 18, to identify whether the ethnic employment and income gap in Sweden is caused by a pre‐market skill gap and/or ethnic discrimination. The employment gap and income gap are estimated for males born in Sweden with different ethnic backgrounds: their parents were born in Sweden or in southern Europe or outside Europe. Controlling for the cognitive test score does not affect the ethnic employment gap, and for incomes the ethnic income gap almost disappears.
