Simulating Bias in the Estimator of Labor Market Discrimination Social Indicators Research 27,2 (September 1992): 157-168.

The statistical bias in the wage gap method of estimating labor market discrimination is investigated. An algebraic expression for the bias is derived & then simulated for a selected set of explanatory variables & model parameters. When applied to data from the 1988 National Longitudinal Survey (N = 6,403 males & 6,283 females ages 23-32), results indicate that when the variables years of schooling & labor market experience are used in earnings functions, the estimator tends to underestimate the actual or "true" amount of labor market discrimination. 2 Tables, 18 References.
