abstract: 'White teenagers are substantially more likely to search for employment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
than black teenagers. This differential occurs despite the fact that,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
conditional on race, individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds are more
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
likely to search. While the racial wage gap is small, the unemployment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
rate for black teenagers is substantially higher than that of white
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
teenagers. We develop a two-sided search model where firms are partially
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
able to search on demographics. Model estimates reveal that firms are
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
more able to target their search on race than on age. Employment and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
wage outcome differences explain half of the racial gap in labor force
