Question
This question asks you to evaluate possible types of discrimination based on the wage and employment outcomes observed in a market. For each market described below, provide at least one kind of discrimination that could produce this outcome (and explain) Suppose that in a market, we observe that black and white workers are hired into the same jobs but the white workers are paid more. Suppose that there is a market where firms hire both black and white workers but assign them to different jobs within the firm. Suppose that in a market, we observe that white workers earn higher wages but firms tend to hire either black or white workers (but not both).Explanation / Answer
