Industrial Profits and Market Forces: The Antebellum South
How Discrimination Against Female Workers Is Hidden in U.S. Industry Statistics: Sex Differences in Wages in the Cotton Textile and Boot and Shoe Industries Between the World Wars
A bstract . The conclusion that the male‐female earnings gap largely reflects sex differences in occupational structure is widely accepted, This conventional wisdom is challenged by examining intraoccupational male‐female wage differences in two leading manufacturing industries, cotton textiles and boots and shoes , for the 1920s and 1930s. The results show little evidence of sex differences in wage rates in particular occupations in the cotton t…

Discrimination Against Women Reconsidered
Sexist earnings differences must not be confused with wage discrimination; wage discrimination against females is only one source of the large sexist earnings gap. The author agrees that his calculations of adjusted earnings ratios do not capture all changes in relative productivity between male and female workers.His present value estimates compared male and female earnings during entire productive lives, from labor market entrance to retirement…
Occupational/Educational Discrimination Against Black Males
Becker's (1971) treatment of the economics of discrimination has stimulated a great deal of discussion concerning the dimensions and patterns of racial discrimination. Arrow (1972), Thurow (1969), and Bergman (1971: 294-313) have contributed to the theoretical knowledge concerning discrimination, and Ashenfelter, Bergman and Lyle (1971: 411433), Gwartney (1970a: 396-408; 1970b; 872-883), O'Neill (1970: 475-486), Weiss (1970: 150-159), Weiss and W…
The Impact of Children on Female Earnings
Inequality in the Distribution of Slave Wealth: The Cotton South and Other Southern Agricultural Regions
There have recently been a number of studies concerned with the equality of wealth distribution in the nineteenth-century U.S. Collectively, these studies have arrived at the following conclusions: 1) the distribution of wealth was much more unequal in the South than in the North; 2) both the North and South were characterized by a high degree of inequality. Gavin Wright analyzed the degree of concentration in several measures of agricultural wea…
State and Regional Patterns in American Manufacturing, 1860-1900
Journal Publication Performance of Economic History Programs: 1960–1969 And 1970–1974
This paper reviews the output of journal publications by the twenty five leading economic history programs during the past fifteen years. At present, there are no formal ratings of the quality of economic history programs at the various academic institutions, but journal publications can serve as a partial indicator of quality. The Roose-Andersen ratings graduate programs provide separate rankings of economics and history programs, but this infor…

Racial Differences in Returns to Educational Investment in the South
The paper calculates rates of return to educational investment in the South and highlights differences in returns according to race and sex. The results of this investigation are compared with the results of earlier studies, and it appears that there has been a relative increase in the returns to Black education in the South. For most education levels, Blacks still earn lower returns than Whites, but the recent narrowing of earnings rates suggest…

Structural Shifts in Southern Manufacturing, 1849–1899
In the decade prior to the Civil War, southern manufacturing was surprisingly similar to that of the non-South. In the latter portion of the nineteenth century, however, a wide divergence developed between that region and the rest of the nation
