title: Does migration function to reduce earnings differentials by race and gender?
abstract: "This study investigates the role of migration in the determination of earnings differentials by race and gender.  Microdata from the United Status Census are used to estimate earnings functions by race, gender, and migration status.  Strong evidence is provided suggesting that unexplained portions of earnings differentials, reflectng wage discrimination and other unobserved heterogeneity, are substantially reduced for both race and gender through the process of interstate migration."
