本文总结了我们最近关于工资与测量的认知能力之间的关系的研究。在这篇文章中，我们提出了三个主要观点。首先，我们发现，在美国，按能力支付的工资确实因种族和性别而异，而认知能力对工资差异的解释并不大。其次，被测量的认知能力、NI和受教育程度高度相关，如果不在估计中强加强大的、任意的参数结构，人们就无法分离它们的影响，而当被测试时，这种结构被数据拒绝。第三，控制认知能力，个性特征(社交技能)与收入相关，尽管它们主要通过受教育程度来发挥作用。(C)2001年爱思唯尔科学公司。版权所有。
This paper summarizes our recent research on the relationship between wages and measured cognitive ability. In it, we make three main points. First, we find that wage payment by ability does vary across race and gender in the US, and that the fraction of wage variance explained by cognitive ability is modest. Second, measured cognitive ability,,ni and schooling are so highly correlated that one cannot separate their effects without imposing strong, arbitrary parametric structure in estimation which, when tested, is rejected by the data. Third, controlling for cognitive ability, personality traits (socialization skills) are correlated with earnings, although they primarily operate through schooling attainment.
