The Relationship among African American Male Earnings, Employment, Incarceration and Immigration in the United States
The advent of rising immigration has spurred research into a number of important issues insofar as the indigenous labor market is concerned. Some of these issues regarding the nature of the effect on native workers have been studied extensively. Others, like the interrelationships among immigration flows, African-American male earnings, employment, and incarceration rates have not been widely examined. In this paper, the association among these n…
Who Survived Titanic ? A Logistic Regression Analysis
Titanic --based upon passenger characteristics. The main finding is that underneath the strong overt preference afforded in the rescue by the authorities to women and children over men, there was a complex class determination of survival rates among men, on the one hand, and women and children, on the other. We hypothesize that the statistical interactions of gender and class are explained by two crucial decisions made by the ship’s authorities: …
Assessing the Effect of the Occupational Crowding of Immigrants on the Real Wages of African American Workers
The recurring importance of the immigration issue has spurred renewed research interests to determine what impact immigration has on domestic labor markets—particularly the labor markets of unskilled workers. This chapter focuses on research that has analyzed the wage effects of immigration at a point in time. There have been a number of studies that have analyzed immigration and indigenous wages. T. J. Espenshade provides evidence on the impact …

The Labor Force Attachment of Discouraged Workers
Since the 1960s policymakers have been concerned with the question of whether the discouraged worker should be considered unemployed. Previous researchers have argued that only those groups of the discouraged who exhibit a 'distinctive attachment' to the labor force should be counted among the unemployed. This study differs by defining 'distinctive attachment' as a long-run, not merely short-run, sensitivity to economic fluctuations. Using this c…
Race and the Discouraged Female Worker
This article presents an empirical examination of female attachment to the labor market. An econometric model of the discouragement process is built to determine how strongly women exhibit the inclination to remain labor force participants over the course of the business cycle. The estimated results imply that women, as a group, have a stronger response to changes in short-run cyclical fluctuations and therefore will sever their attachment to the…
