Political empowerment: earnings in the presence of African-American mayors

Michael Greene and Emily Hoffnar

Applied Economics Letters, 1995, vol. 2, issue 9, 298-301

Abstract: A full interactive earnings model measures the earnings premium enjoyed by African-American men in cities headed by African-American mayors. After controlling for selection into the labour force, African-American men in such cities are found to enjoy a 7.9% earnings premium, which derives mainly from a higher return to high-school education.
