Adopted Children in the Labour Market — Discrimination or Unobserved Characteristics?

“…This will show the extent to which the difference in employment rates between two ethnic groups is due to differences in their observed characteristics (the "explained" part of the employment gap), or to differences in their respective parameter estimates (the "unexplained" part, reflecting differences in discrimination and/or differences in unobserved characteristics between the two groups). Recent research has attempted to relate the empirical measure of discrimination more closely to that proposed in Becker (1957) and Arrow (1972). Oaxaca and Ransom (1994) estimated the competitive wage structure that would exist in the absence of discrimination and used this as a weighting factor in the decomposition of the wage gap.…”

The Spatial Mismatch Hypothesis: Are There Teenage Jobs Missing in the Ghetto?

“…Map 1 plots on a map of employment rates for out of school males aged [16][17][18][19][20][21]. Outlined on the map are all of the tracts in the city where PBLACK exceeds 50 percent.…”
