Educational Attainment and the Gender Wage Gap
This study pools data from two sources to investigate the role of educational attainment in determining the gender wage gap. The empirical analysis reveals that the returns to education remained largely unchanged for young men but declined significantly for young women over the period 1984–2007. We find significant evidence of a decline in the returns to a Bachelor's degree for young women as well as evidence of increasing wage inequality over ti…
A human capital approach to American Indian earnings
This study utilizes a human capital approach to examine the earning differentials between different groups of American Indian couples residing on reservations and urban areas. Specifically, the focus of this paper is the determination of whether human capital effects on earnings are stronger in urban areas relative to reservation areas, and whether or not reservation-to-urban migrants receive higher returns to their human capital endowments than …

Are economists different? An empirical note
This article examines a game-theoretic approach by Carter and Irons which tests the proposition that “economists” behave differently than “non-economists.” By supplementing an economics experiment among college undergraduates with a survey of the students' previous exposure to economics we lend support to the hypothesis that students who understand basic economic axioms will employ this logic in decision-making processes. However, by controlling …
