本文提供了一个创新的理论方法，黑人，白人劳动力市场的不平等，结合威胁，空间不匹配和城市衰落理论的组成部分排队框架。使用一个独特的措施之间的收入差距黑人和白色工人分类到不同的职业范围内的职业和教育界定的劳动力市场，作者测试的假设，从组合模型。结果表明，支持组合模型，劳动力和工作队列的特点显着影响的程度，黑白不平等。代表雇主对雇用黑人工人的偏好或反对雇用黑人工人的变量也很重要，这表明联合检查劳动力市场的偏好和过程的效用。
This article offers an innovative theoretical approach to black-white labor market inequality that combines components of threat, spatial mismatch, and urban decline theories in a queuing framework. Using a unique measure-the earnings gap between black and white workers resulting from sorting into different occupations within an occupationally and educationally delimited labor queue-the author tests hypotheses from the combined model. Results show support for the combined model, as characteristics of labor and job queues significantly influence the extent of black-white inequality. Variables representing employers' preferences for or against hiring black workers are also significant, suggesting the utility of jointly examining preferences and processes in the labor market.
