Laouénan, Morgane - 2014
The wage gap between African-Americans and white Americans is substantial in the US and has slightly narrowed over the past 30 years. Today, blacks have almost achieved the same educational level as whites. There is reason to believe that discrimination driven by prejudice plays a part in...

Spatial-ethnic inequalities : the role of location in the estimation of ethnic wage differentials

Average gaps and Oaxaca-Blinder decompositions : a cautionary tale about regression estimates of racial differences in labor market outcomes
Słoczyński, Tymon - 2018
In this paper I demonstrate, both theoretically and empirically, that the interpretation of regression estimates of between-group differences in economic outcomes depends on the relative sizes of subpopulations under study. When the disadvantaged group is small, regression estimates are similar...
