Earnings Inequality Within And Across Gender, Racial, And Ethnic Groups In Four Latin American Countries
Latin American countries are generally characterized as displaying high income and earnings inequality overall along with high inequality by gender, race, and ethnicity. However, the latter phenomenon is not a major contributor to the former phenomenon.

Occupational Segregation and the Tipping Phenomenon
The ‘tipping’ phenomenon, whereby an occupation switches from dominance by one demographic group to dominance by another, has occurred in various occupations. Multiple causes have been suggested for such switches, including several related to technological change, both through effects on the performance of the work and through the effect of changing demand for different occupations. The court reporting occupation provides a novel setting for test…

These Explorations, by eight authors from Canada, China, the US, and the UK, examine the current status of women in economics (with an eye mainly toward their status in the academic branch of the profession). The four sections of the work analyze results of surveys that show the distribution of academic positions among women economists in universities in Canada, the UK, the US, and China. The work also provides a short history of the development …

Measuring Returns on Investments in Collectibles
This paper considers the question of how to measure and interpret the financial return to investing in collectibles. We review various methodologies for creating priced indexes and then discuss studies that explicitly calculate a rate of return to some set of collectibles. While most collectibles appear to yield positive real returns, the majority embody more risk and yield lower financial returns than stocks. Other characteristics of collectible…
What Data Do Economists Use? The Case of Labor Economics and Industrial Relations

Sex segregation at work
Census and Current Population Survey data from 1960–1990 are used to illustrate the slow downward trend in occupational sex segregation. With a view towards predicting future changes in segregation, various theoretical approaches to explaining the prevalence of sex segregation are discussed, and the indeterminate effects on sex segregation of various workforce policies are stressed
