项目摘要
ABSTRACTPROPOSAL NO: 0339149INSTITUTION: Boston UniversityNSF PROGRAM: ENHANCING HUMAN PERFORMANCEPI: Lang, KevinTITLE: Discrimination, Segregation and Wage Differentials in Imperfect Labor Markets.This research project explores the causes and consequences of labor-market discrimination by profit-oriented firms. The research consists of two projectsThe firs project starts with the puzzling fact that African Americans acquire more education than do whites with the same measured cognitive ability. This project theoretically and empirically explores two explanatory hypotheses: (1) blacks attend lower quality schools. Blacks attempt to compensate for lower quality education longer years of schooling. If measured cognitive ability is influenced by education, poorer schools may be associated with smaller cognitive gains. Preliminary empirical results do not support this hypothesis. (2) Given imperfect information about worker productivity, blacks have greater incentives than whites to use education to signal their desirability as workers. To test this hypothesis, this project will explore differences in information structure for blacks and whites (employers observe the productivity of whites more readily than they do the productivity of blacks) and differences in the distribution of productivity between the two groups. The models will be tested with NLSY data. The second project addresses discrimination by profit-oriented firms that must search for workers who in turn must search for jobs. It explores the relation between segregation, wage discrimination and employment discrimination in the context of directed-search models with different types of workers. This project compares the consequences of discrimination based on skin color (a continuous factor) with those based on race (discrete categories). It will broaden our understanding of a class of search models in which profit-oriented employers recognize that higher wages attract more applicants. The approach will cast light on the effects of worker heterogeneity in such settings.This research is potentially important for broader impacts on labor market policies. Different explanations for higher levels of formal education among blacks (given measured cognitive ability) imply different policies for enhancing human performance. Employer-information hypothesis implies that blacks will over-invest in observable credentials but under-invest in unobservable skills and suggests that facilitating of information acquisition would be valuable. The school-quality hypothesis suggests that policies that increase the uniformity of school-quality standards would be more effective.
项目简介:波士顿大学NSF项目:提高人的素质。Lang,Kevin Title:不完美劳动力市场中的歧视、种族隔离和工资差异。这项研究项目探索了以盈利为导向的公司在劳动力市场上歧视的原因和后果。这项研究由两个项目组成:FIRS项目从一个令人费解的事实开始,即具有相同认知能力的非裔美国人比白人获得了更多的教育。该项目从理论和实证两个方面探索了两个解释性假设:(1)黑人就读的学校质量较低。黑人试图弥补教育质量较低、受教育年限较长的问题。如果被测量的认知能力受到教育的影响,那么较差的学校可能与较小的认知收益有关。初步的实证结果并不支持这一假设。(2)考虑到关于工人生产率的不完全信息,黑人比白人有更大的动机利用教育来表明他们作为工人的可取性。为了验证这一假设,该项目将探索黑人和白人在信息结构上的差异(雇主比黑人更容易观察白人的生产率),以及这两个群体之间生产率分布的差异。这些模型将用NLSY数据进行测试。第二个项目解决了以盈利为导向的公司的歧视问题,这些公司必须寻找工人,而这些工人又必须寻找工作。在不同类型工人的定向搜索模型的背景下,本研究探讨了隔离、工资歧视和就业歧视之间的关系。该项目比较了基于肤色的歧视(一个连续因素)和基于种族的歧视(离散类别)的后果。它将拓宽我们对一类搜索模式的理解,在这种模式中,以利润为导向的雇主认识到,更高的工资吸引了更多的申请者。这一方法将揭示这种环境下工人异质性的影响。这项研究对于更广泛地影响劳动力市场政策具有潜在的重要意义。对黑人接受更高水平的正规教育的不同解释(考虑到测量的认知能力)意味着提高人类表现的不同政策。雇主-信息假说表明,黑人会过度投资于可观察到的证书,但投资不足于不可观察到的技能,并表明促进信息获取将是有价值的。学校质量假说表明,提高学校质量标准统一性的政策会更有效。
