%0 Report %A Salamanca, Nicolás %A Feld, Jan %T A Short Note on Discrimination and Favoritism in the Labor Market %D 2016 %8 2016 Oct %I Institute of Labor Economics (IZA) %C Bonn %7 IZA Discussion Paper %N 10291 %U https://www.iza.org/index.php/publications/dp10291 %X We extend Becker's model of discrimination by allowing firms to have discriminatory and favoring preferences simultaneously. We draw the two-preference parallel for the marginal firm, illustrate the implications for wage differentials, and consider the implied long-run equilibrium. In the short-run, wage differentials depend on relative preferences. However, in the long-run, market forces drive out discriminatory but not favoring firms. %K firm preferences %K nepotism %K wage gap %K long-run equilibrium
