Testing for Asymmetric Employer Learning and Statistical Discrimination Applied Economics published online (6 December 2020): DOI: 10.1080/00036846.2020.1830939. Also: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00036846.2020.1830939 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Taylor & Francis Keyword(s): Discrimination, Employer; Discrimination, Racial/Ethnic; Learning, Asymmetric We test if firms statistically discriminate workers based on race when employer learning is asymmetric. Using data from the NLSY79, we find evidence of asymmetric employer learning. In addition, employers statistically discriminate against non-college-educated black workers at time of hiring. We also find that employers directly observe most of the productivity of college graduates at hiring and learn very little over time about these workers. |

The Impact of Obesity on Wages: The Role of Personal Interactions and Job Selection Labour: Review of Labour Economics and Industrial Relations 33,2 (June 2019): 125-146. Also: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/labr.12145 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Blackwell Publishing, Inc. => Wiley Online Keyword(s): Obesity; Occupational Information Network (O*NET); Racial Differences; Sociability/Socialization/Social Interaction; Wage Penalty/Career Penalty We estimate the effects of obesity on wages accounting for the endogenous selection of workers into jobs requiring different levels of personal interactions in the workplace. Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 combined with detailed information about occupation characteristics from O*Net, we confirm the results from the literature finding a wage penalty for obese White women. This penalty is higher in jobs that require a high level of personal interactions. Accounting for job selection does not significantly change the estimated wage penalty. |
