The Relative Earnings of Young Mexican, Black, and White Women
利用NLSY数据，发现年轻墨西哥裔女性比白人女性收入低9%，黑人女性低15%；低劳动力依附是黑人与白人收入差距的主因，教育则是墨西哥裔与白人差距的主因。
Using the NLSY, we find that young Mexican women earn 9% less than young white women while young black women earn 15% less than young white women.Although young Mexican women earn less than young white women, they do surprisingly well compared to young black women.We show that it is crucially important to account for actual labor market experience.We further show that low labor force attachment is the most important determinant of the blackwhite wage differential for young women while education is the most important explanation for the Mexican-white wage gap for young women.
