Title: | The effect on black-white wage differences of differences in the quantity and quality of education |

Abstract: | Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth for the years 1979-88, the author examines the extent to which black-white differences in educational attainment, educational quality, and unmeasured individual ability can explain black-white wage differences. An analysis that corrects for both selectivity and ability biases inherent in estimating the education-wage relationship shows that the main source of the black-white wage differential is the racial difference in the quality rather than quantity of schooling. |
