Experience, Tenure, and Wage Growth of Young Black and White Men Journal of Human Resources 33,3 (Summer 1998): 658-682. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/146337 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: University of Wisconsin Press Keyword(s): High School Completion/Graduates; Job Tenure; Racial Differences; Wage Growth; Work Experience This paper studies the source of differences in wage growth between young black and white workers. Focusing on "terminal" high school graduates from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, we estimate the returns to on-the-job tenure and general labor market experience using ordinary least squares, Altonji and Shakotko, and Topel estimators. Results from all three estimators indicate that for black workers returns to general experience trail those for white workers, but that black workers earn equal if not higher returns to tenure than do white workers. |

Experience, Tenure, and the Perceptions of Employers Southern Economic Journal 67,3 (January 2001): 578-597. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/1061452 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Southern Economic Association Keyword(s): Bayesian; Job Tenure; Racial Differences; Wage Differentials; Wage Growth; Work Experience This paper examines how group-based assessments concerning employee ability impact employee compensation. The employer learns about worker ability through Bayesian updating, creating an additional channel for wage growth that is not available to those workers with only general labor market experience. Consistent with the model's predictions, results from National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY) indicate that black workers fare much better relative to white workers in returns to tenure than in returns to experience. Finally, parameter estimates in the structural model suggest that employers initially undervalue black males but that their wages rise with learning by employers over time.
