The causes and consequences of increasing inequality
Racial Differences in the Unemployment Response to Structural Changes in Local Labor Markets
This analysis uses establishment-level data on job creation and destruction to examine the unemployment rate responses of black, Hispanic and white workers to shifts in demand across firms and industries during the period 1980-84. Black unemployment rates are significantly more responsive to differences in aggregate demand growth and wage flexibility than are white and Hispanic unemployment rates, and they are also more severely impacted by struc…
Regional Wage Inflation and Unemployment Dynamics in Great Britain
This paper develops a two-equation model of the regional labor market in which wage inflation and unemployment rates are jointly endogenous variables. The model is tested on annual data for the ten standard regions of Great Britain over the 1971-85 period. In addition, an exploratory analysis of the factors associated with regional differences in wage rigidity is presented. Copyright 1992 by Scottish Economic Society
Some New Historical Evidence on the Impact of Affirmative Action
A sample of Detroit area firms in 1972 is used to determine the effects of affirmative action requirements and other firm characteristics on the recruitment and hiring of women and black men. The results suggest that affirmative action changed firm hiring practices with respect to black males. The unique data set also allows for a test of Becker's well-known hypothesis that customer prejudice may influence the hiring of blacks or females
Wage Inflation and Unemployment in Europe
JOHNES G. and HYCLAK T. J. (1989) Wage inflation and unemployment in Europe: the regional dimension, Reg. Studies 23, 19–26. In this paper a bargaining model of wage and unemployment determination is used to estimate regional Phillips curves for Britain, Italy and the Federal Republic of Germany. Estimates of region-specific non-accelerating inflation rates of unemployment (NAIRU) are provided, movements of these over time are examined. The impac…
The Effects of Immigrants, Women, and Teenagers on the Relative Earnings of Black Males
There is currently a debate taking place on the impact of immigration on the employment of native-born Americans. Several recent studies have attempted to empirically examine the effect on native-born workers but few have investigated the impact on the economic status of black workers. This article attempts to address this question by examining the effects of competition from recent immigrants on the relative earnings of black males. The effects …

Racial Inequality
The Effect of Unions on Earnings Inequality in Local Labor Markets
Investigates the determinants of interurban differences in earnings inequality measured by gini coefficients of the annual earnings of male and female workers. Why trade union wage policies tend to increase earnings inequality; Effect of unionization on male earnings inequality; Relationship between fringe benefits and level of earnings. (Abstract copyright EBSCO.)
Ethnicity and Economic Opportunity
In this analysis, data from the 1970 Census of Population are used to determine whether ethnic discrimination has been an important factor contributing to differential economic performance among immigrant groups. The measures of economic performance employed in this investigation are mean family income and the extent of poverty among cohorts of immigrants. Stepwise multiple regression analysis is used to select among possible influences on these …
