註釋This is an objective analysis of the implementation of comparable worth in a city government (San Jose, California), in a state government (Minnesota), and in an entire country (Australia). Explaining comparable worth in terms of economic theory, Killingsworth presents original econometric estimates of the effects of comparable worth on female-male relative wages and employment for the three locations. He develops and estimates two competing models: a conventional model, which relates individual worker's wages to worker's characteristics; and a comparable worth model, which relates wages of job classifications to job characteristics. Killingsworth concludes that conventional remedies to discrimination are a more promising approach than comparable worth for eliminating labor market discrimination. ISBN 0-88099-086-4: $22.95.
