SUMMARY:Wage Discrimination Over the Business Cycle
DESCRIPTION:6.30 - 8.00 pm  // Abstract: Using CPS data from 1979-2009 we examine how cyclical downturns and industry-specific demand shocks affect wage differentials between white non-Hispanic men and women, Hispanics and non-Hispanic whites, and African-Americans and non-Hispanic whites.  Women's relative earnings are harmed by negative shocks; the wage disadvantage of African-Americans drops with negative shocks, which have slight negative effects on Hispanics' relative wages.  Negative shocks also increase the earnings disadvantage of bad-looking workers. A theory of job search suggests two opposite-signed mechanisms that affect these wage differentials.  It suggests greater absolute effects among job-movers, which is verified using the longitudinal component of the CPS.
