Abstract

Abstract Discrimination in tipping creates concerns of inequity in service quality for restaurant operators (Brewster 2017). We use the National Household Food Acquisition and Purchase Survey data to conduct one of the very few nationally representative examinations of tipping behavior at US restaurants. We focus on differences in tipping behavior between groups with identifiable characteristics and investigate whether tipping differences between groups are robust to inclusion of a variety of controls. We investigate tipping at the extensive and intensive margins. In contrast to earlier studies, we find little evidence that tipping varies by race and gender.

餐馆小费歧视:来自美国家庭代表性样本的证据

摘要小费歧视引发了餐馆经营者服务质量不公平的担忧（Brewster 2017）。我们使用全国家庭食品收购和购买调查数据，对美国餐馆的小费行为进行了极少数具有全国代表性的调查之一。我们关注具有可识别特征的群体之间倾倒行为的差异，并调查群体之间的倾倒差异是否足以纳入各种对照。我们调查了广泛和密集的利润率。与早期的研究相比，我们几乎没有发现任何证据表明小费因种族和性别而异。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Agricultural & Food Industrial Organization (JAFIO) is a unique forum for empirical and theoretical research in industrial organization with a special focus on agricultural and food industries worldwide. As concentration, industrialization, and globalization continue to reshape horizontal and vertical relationships within the food supply chain, agricultural economists are revising both their views of traditional markets as well as their tools of analysis. At the core of this revision are strategic interactions between principals and agents, strategic interdependence between rival firms, and strategic trade policy between competing nations, all in a setting plagued by incomplete and/or imperfect information structures. Add to that biotechnology, electronic commerce, as well as the shift in focus from raw agricultural commodities to branded products, and the conclusion is that a "new" agricultural economics is needed for an increasingly complex "new" agriculture.
