Sexual Orientation, Prejudice, and Segregation
利用澳大利亚双胞胎登记数据，研究发现同性恋者倾向于避开偏见程度高的职业，且这一隔离效应主要由公开身份的群体驱动，与雇主和雇员的歧视理论一致。
This article examines whether gay and lesbian workers sort into tolerant occupations. With information on sexual orientation, prejudice, and occupational choice taken from Australian Twin Registers, we find that gays and lesbians shy away from prejudiced occupations. We show that our segregation results are largely driven by those gay and lesbian workers with disclosed identities and are robust to the inclusion of unobserved factors that are inherited and observed factors that strongly correlate with productive skills and vocational preferences. Our segregation estimates are consistent with prejudice-based theories of employer and employee discrimination against gay and lesbian workers.
