Bharadwaj, Prashant; Deb, Rahul; Renou, Ludovic - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024
We characterize the conditions under which the wage distributions for two groups are consistent with a general model of statistical discrimination. We adapt this theoretical characterization to develop a novel empirical test, the rejection of which we interpret as evidence of taste-based...

Sorkin, Isaac; Wallskog, Melanie - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023
Over the last several decades, rising pay dispersion between firms accounts for the majority of the dramatic increase in earnings inequality in the United States. This paper shows that a distinct cross-cohort pattern drives this rise: newer cohorts of firms enter more dispersed and stay more...

The Race Between Education, Technology, and the Minimum Wage
Vogel, Jonathan - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023
What is the impact of the minimum wage on the college wage premium? I show that job-ladder models imply that the effect should be small on impact---raising only the wages of workers bound by the minimum wage---and grow over time as workers slowly move up the job ladder. Guided by my theory, I...
