dc.description.abstract |
We estimate wage gaps using nonparametric matching methods and detailed measures of
field of study for university graduates. We find a modest portion of the wage gap
is the consequence of measurement error in the Census education measure. For Hispanic
and Asian men, the remaining gap is attributable to premarket factors - primarily
differences in formal education and English language proficiency. For black men, only
about one-quarter of the wage gap is explained by these same factors. For a subsample
of black men born outside the South to parents with some college education, these
factors do account for the entire wage gap. © 2006 by the President and Fellows of
