Accounting for Changes in Between-Group Inequality
We provide a framework with multiple worker types (e.g. gender× age× education) to decompose changes in aggregated and disaggregated measures of between-group inequality into changes in (i) the composition of the workforce across labor types, (ii) the importance of different tasks, (iii) the extent of computerization, and (iv) other labor-specific productivities (a residual to match observed re...

We explore the combined effect of segregation in social networks, peer effects, and the relative size of a historically disadvantaged group on the incentives to invest in market-rewarded skills and the dynamics of inequality between social groups. We identify conditions under which group inequality will persist in the absence of differences in ability, credit constraints, or labor market discri...
متن کاملChanges in between-group inequality: computers, occupations, and international trade∗
We quantify the impact of several determinants of changes in US between-group inequality. We use an assignment framework with many labor groups, equipment types, and occupations in which changes in inequality are driven by changes in workforce composition, occupation demand, computerization, and labor productivity. We parameterize the model using direct measures of computer usage within labor g...
متن کاملA solution to the collective action problem in between-group conflict with within-group inequality
Conflict with conspecifics from neighbouring groups over territory, mating opportunities and other resources is observed in many social organisms, including humans. Here we investigate the evolutionary origins of social instincts, as shaped by selection resulting from between-group conflict in the presence of a collective action problem. We focus on the effects of the differences between indivi...
