Abstract

We examine wages of Black and White interracially married individuals compared to their intramarried counterparts in the United States. We find a raw interracial marriage wage penalty for White spouses and a raw interracial marriage wage premium for Black spouses. The differential disappears for females, but not for males, when controlling for selection on standard wage equation variables. Negative selection on unobservables into interracial marriage explain the White male penalty. We find a larger penalty for White males and a smaller premium for Black males in states that were forced to allow interracial marriage by the Supreme Court.

不那么黑白分明异族通婚与工资

我们研究了美国黑人和白人异族通婚者的工资与婚内同类者的工资的比较。我们发现，白人配偶的原始异族通婚工资惩罚和黑人配偶的原始异族通婚工资溢价。在对标准工资方程变量的选择进行控制后，女性的差异消失了，但男性的差异没有消失。异族通婚中不可观测变量的负选择解释了白人男性的惩罚。我们发现，在最高法院强制允许异族通婚的州，白人男性受到的惩罚更大，黑人男性受到的惩罚更小。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
