摘要：Accounting for immigration and language reduces the ethnic wage differential in Canada, becoming insignificant in the time rate sector and modestly positive in the output pay sector. Theory suggests that employers with prejudice that are unable to pay differential wages in the output sector will hire fewer minorities. A structural selection model indicates that minorities receive larger wage advantages from employment in the output pay sector and that this tends to attract minorities. At the same time, minority status itself makes them less likely to be observed in the output sector. We suggest this evidence fits a model in which output based pay reduces earnings latitude causing employer prejudice to be translated into reduced minority employment in the first place.
