Topic 3: Gender/Racial Differences in Characteristics

• Applications
• Other than the differences in education or major choices we talked about in class, what other characteristics are different between men and women that could lead to wage differences. There are a lot of recent literature that examines various non-cognitive skill differences between men and women, such as risk-taking, personality, competitiveness, etc. Pick out something interesting to talk about.
• Find statistics that shows that women receive less on-the-job training.
• Find more recent statistics on occupational segregation based on gender or race, or statistics of other countries.
• Find statistics on wage gaps between men and women by job types/major/occupation. For example, which job types have larger gender wage gaps than others? Are these due to differences in characteristics across gender?
• Extended Knowledge
• You can either start by coming up with a new question and then search for a paper that answers the question, or you can search in https://scholar.google.com/ the key words related to this topic, such as “wage gap between men and women” and find a relevant article you finding interesting and would like to share.
• Find an article that summarizes all the observed characteristic differences across gender or across racial groups.
