Julie A. Nelson, Gender and Risk-Taking: Economics, Evidence, and Why the Answer Matters
As I started to write this review, I happened to read a book review by Hannah Fry in the September 9, 2019 issue of The New Yorker of David Spiegelhalter’s new book, The Art of Statistics. Among other things, Spiegelhalter highlights the pitfalls in the standard practice of using Fisher’s p-test to reject a hypothesis that a result has occurred by chance. The conventional threshold for this “statistical significance” is p 0.05. This means that in…
Making Do and Getting By: Non‐Market Work and Elderly Women's Standards of Living in the United States
We use pooled data from the 2003, 2004, and 2005 American Time Use Surveys (ATUS) to explore the impact of non‐market household work on the living standards of the elderly. We describe how women and men allocate their time after they reach age 55 by race/ethnicity, age, and household structure. Focusing on those aged 55–64 and 65–74, we examine white, Black, and Hispanic differences in time use by gender, and compare women and men living alone an…
Workers and Their Wages: Changing Patterns in the United States
Discusses the increase in wage premium received for increased formal education, the slowness of the convergence of the age premium between black and white males, the effects of gender, international trade, technological change and outsourcing of production operations on wages
British and American Women at Work: Do Equal Opportunities Policies Matter
Sources of the Family Income Differentials among Hispanics, Blacks, and White Non-Hispanics
Data from the 1976 Survey of Income and Education are used to analyze the family income differentials among the five major Hispanic-American groups (Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, Central and South Americans, and "other Spanish"), black non-Hispanics, and white non-Hispanics. Total family income is first classified by its four major sources: earnings of a male head, earnings of a wife or female head, earnings of other family members, and proper…
Labor Market Discrimination Against Hispanic and Black Men
H ISPANIC American men have lower average wage rates than white non-Hispanics. In 1975 the average white non-Hispanic male wage-earner in the United States earned $5.97 an hour. Mexican men earned $4.31, 72% as much as white non-Hispanics; Puerto Rican men earned $4.52, 76% as much; and Cuban men earned $5.33, 89% as much as white non-Hispanics. By way of comparison, black men's average wages in 1975 were $4.65, 78% of the white male wage.' Sever…
Race, Ranking, Promotions, and Pay at a Federal Facility: A Logit Analysis
This study analyzes rank assignments and promotions among a group of federal civilian employees at a U.S. Army base, with special attention to racial differences, by estimating a multinomial logit model and using pooled data from four different years. The authors find that position and compensation, although closely related, are by no means identical, nor are promotions and changes in pay. For example, the racial differential in compensation at t…
