abstract: 'This paper is in empirical attempt to quantify caste-based
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
discrimination in the labor market using household data taken from rural
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
North India. In the regression analysis, transaction costs associated
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
with entry into the labor market and reservation wages are estimated
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
simultaneously along with market wages. The estimation results provide
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
evidence of the existence of transaction costs in the labor market and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
discrimination against backward classes with regard to access to regular
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment. In line with previous studies, the results suggest that the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
achievements of India''s reservation policy so far have at best been
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
limited. In addition, a comparison between the estimates from the model
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employed in this paper and conventional (reduced-form) approaches shows
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
that discrimination in labor market entry is likely to be underestimated
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in the conventional reduced-form approaches. (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All
