Pay Premiums for Economic Sector and Race: A Decomposition Report, Center for Human Resource Research, The Ohio State University, October 1979 Cohort(s): Older Men Publisher: Center for Human Resource Research Keyword(s): Dual Economic Theory; Job Skills; Unions; Wages his study examines two issues concerning a dual economy theory of labor markets. First, the economic sectors are analyzed for the degree to which differences in rates of pay are accounted for by sector differences in: human capital composition, unionization, occupational skill requirements and other factors producing an ability and willingness to pay high wages. The primary factors that produce a pay premium in the monopoly sector are its willingness to pay high wages and its higher levels of unionization. Second, the results of a decomposition by race show that contrary to prior research, blacks are found to be relatively more disadvantaged in the competitive sector. |
