Sex‐Based Differences in School Content and the Male‐Female Wage Gap
利用收入与项目参与调查和1972年全国纵向研究数据，分析高中和大学课程选择的性别差异如何影响成年后的工资差距，发现最高学位领域的差异对大学毕业生工资差距有显著贡献，但课程差异对低学历者工资差距影响较小。
In high school and college, men and women take significantly different courses. Using data from the Survey of Income and Program Participation and the National Longitudinal Study class of 1972, the authors relate these differences in school content to sex differences in adult wages. Differences in field of highest degree account for a significant part of the male-female wage gap among college graduates, but differences in coursework account for little of the equally large wage gap between men and women with less schooling. Among college graduates, there is some evidence that the reward for taking male majors is larger for men. Copyright 1997 by University of Chicago Press.
