Question 5 $23) Suppose that two wage regressions are estimated for black and white workers: W₁ = 5.0+ 0.10S and Ww=6.0 +0.145 where S is the number of years of schooling. The average years of schooling for blacks and whites, respectively, is 12.2 and 13.6 years. a) Draw the respective wage profiles for black and white workers on the same graph. Indicate the raw wage differential for the average black and white worker. b) Calculate the Oaxaca decomposition. Indicate on your graph in (a), the portion of the wage differential attributable to skill differences between white and black workers and the portion due to labor market discrimination.

In 2006, Evo Morales assumed the presidency in Bolivia, a South American country in which official commerce is done in Spanish. Morales was the first Bolivian president of indigenous decent. As president, he quickly instituted reforms that were designed to reduce discrimination against indigenous populations with the aim of eventually reducing inequality. Suppose discrimination before Morales took two forms: discrimination in education by not providing state funds to educate all children (and particularly not educating indigenous children in Spanish) and discrimination in the job market by firms not willing to hire indigenous workers.a. In terms of education, which policy do you think would be more successful at combating discrimination and inequality: (1) providing state funds to educate all people exclusively in their native languages or (2) providing state funds for a public education system that requires all people to learn Spanish, as well as a second, indigenous language? Why?b.…
The following graph gives the labor market for laboratory aides in the imaginary country of Episteme. The equilibrium hourly wage is $10, and the equilibrium number of laboratory aides is 150. Suppose the federal government of Episteme has decided to institute an hourly payroll tax of $4 on laboratory aides and wants to determine whether the tax should be levied on the workers, the employers, or both (in such a way that half the tax is collected from each party). Use the graph input tool to evaluate these three proposals. Entering a number into the Tax Levied on Employers field (initially set at zero dollars per hour) shifts the demand curve down by the amount you enter, and entering a number into the Tax Levied on Workers field (initially set at zero dollars per hour) shifts the supply curve up by the amount you enter. To determine the before-tax wage for each tax proposal, adjust the amount in the Wage field until the quantity of labor supplied equals the quantity of labor demanded.…

Consider Special City that manufactures light fixtures that are sold around the world. Draw their base case Labor Market graph. Now assume there is a national shortage of glass that Special City manufacturers use to create their light fixtures. Show what would be the effect on your Labor Market graph. Lastly, assume the manufacturers change their manufacturing process to use less glass but inadvertently create a very noticeable increase in the smog levels that makes it hard to breathe. Show another variation to reflect the change in your labor market graph, be sure to indicate the effects of the changes on for each of these market changes or combine the graphs, just be sure the changes and new equilibria are legible:

The following equations have been estimated by Ordinary Least Squares (OLS), where Y denotes annual earnings, P job evaluation points, and the subscripts m and f denote male and female respectively: Ym = 5000 + 100Pm Yf = 4000 + 80Pf Assume the average job evaluation score was 300 points in male-dominated jobs and 200 points in female-dominated jobs. What is the average pay in male-dominated jobs and in female-dominated jobs? Use a Oaxaca decomposition to determine the average pay differential between male and female dominated jobs into two components: a portion attributable to the difference in job evaluation points (valued according to the male pay for such points) and a portion attributable to differences in pay for the same job evaluation points. Use that same decomposition, but this time evaluate the differences in job evaluation points according to the female pay for such points.
Laura McBride, First Nations Director, and Curator for the Australian Museum stated that, "until historic inequities are addressed, the gap between Indigenous peoples and non-indigenous Australians will only continue to widen". Consequently, the inability of indigenous Australians to fully participate in decision-making and have unencumbered access to the economic and cultural wealth they hold, disproportionately exposes them to complex disadvantage. Critically discuss this viewpoint by answering the following questions: a) Assess and explain the current status of participation of indigenous Australians in the economy. To what extent has the Commonwealth (federal) government supported job creation, and encouraged the translation of First Nations people's knowledges, assets, interests and rights into tangible, economic benefits for their communities? b) The Commonwealth (federal) government has traditionally focused on creating training and employment pathways for First Nations people,…
The table below describes the average per-hour wages of males and females; in each pair, they have the same occupation, education, marital status, and age. The researcher wants to figure out whether males have higher wages than females. Formulate a relevant research hypothesis and test it, assuming that both samples are representative and wages come are distributed normally. Assume alpha = 0.05.
