Comparable-Worth Wage Adjustments and Female Employment in the State and Local Sector

Ronald Ehrenberg and Robert S Smith

Journal of Labor Economics, 1987, vol. 5, issue 1, 43-62

Abstract: This paper simulates the likely effects of a comparable-worth, wage-adjustment policy in the state and local sector on female employment in the sector. The simulation is based on estimates of within- occupation male/female substitution and across-occupation employment substitution obtained using data from the 1980 Census of Population.
