Employers’ discriminatory behavior and the estimation of wage discrimination
Abstract
This chapter considers the linkage of empirical estimates of wage discrimination between two groups, as introduced by Oaxaca (1973), to a theoretical model of employers’ discriminatory behavior. Oaxaca’s widely used empirical technique estimates wage discrimination by determining how much of the wage differential between two groups is due to differences in coefficients of separately estimated wage regressions. (For examples, see Blinder, 1973; Malkiel and Malkiel, 1973; Corcoran and Duncan, 1979; Ferber and Green, 1982.) The more general basis of this technique is a comparison of the wage structures for the two groups-captured in coefficients from separately estimated regressions-to an estimate of the wage structure that would prevail in the absence of discrimination (Reimers, 1983). The component of the wage differential due to differences between the existing and the “no-discrimination” wage structure is attributed to discrimination. The remainder, which is due to differences in characteristics, is interpreted as nondiscriminatory.1

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
