TY - RPRT AU - Salamanca, Nicolás AU - Feld, Jan TI - A Short Note on Discrimination and Favoritism in the Labor Market PY - 2016/Oct/ PB - Institute of Labor Economics (IZA) CY - Bonn T2 - IZA Discussion Paper IS - 10291 UR - https://www.iza.org/publications/dp10291 AB - 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.
