In this paper we use the National Sample Survey of Registered Nurses to examine the wage differential among black and white women. An important conclusion derived from this study is that wage differentials between groups must be examined by education level, as the marginal cost and benefit schedules for education differ drastically by racial group. We are continuing in this line of research with a comprehensive review of the contributing factors to the female black/white wage differential. We begin by examining the relationship between marriage markets and education outcomes for black women. Joint work with Barry Chiswick, “Ethnic Intermarriage among Immigrants”, is an IZA discussion paper published at the Review of Economics of the Household. In “A Comprehensive Economic Approach to the Determinants of Interracial Marriage in the United States” I examine the marital characteristics of interracially married individuals. In collaboration with Barry Chiswick, I have begun to examine the determinants of post-migration marital dissolution among immigrants.
