Earnings of Very Young Men In: Income Distribution and Economic Inequality. Z. Griliches, et al., eds. New York, NY: Wiley and Sons, 1978 Cohort(s): Young Men Publisher: Wiley Online Keyword(s): Earnings; Family Influences; I.Q.; Schooling Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This study replicates the author's earlier (1976) results on newer data from the NLS of Young Men, discusses the distribution of earnings as opposed to wage rates, and outlines a model for the analysis of time series on individuals. The effect of schooling on wage rates is far stronger than is the effect of IQ, and this difference is even stronger when the effects of these two variables on earnings are considered. Only half of the observed variance in completed schooling is explained by family background and IQ, so other forces affecting schooling remain to be identified. In the late 1960s, young black men were completing more schooling than white of similar background and ability. |
