Does a gap between the average earnings of men and women, or between whites and blacks, prove that employers are discriminating in the labor market? Explain briefly.
Suppose male wages are determined by the earnings function WM = 25 + 0.40EM and female wages are determined by the earnings function WF = 15 + 0.20EF. If women have 10 years of experience and men have 20, what is the gender wage gap? How much can be attributed to human capital differences and how much is unexplained, and therefore attributed to discrimination? Show this scenario on a graph of both the male and female earnings functions
