Returns vs. Endowments in the Earnings Attainment Process for Metropolitan and Nonmetropolitan Men and Women.
McLaughlin, Diane K.; Perman, Lauri
Rural Sociology, v56 n3 p339-65 Fall 1991
Examines the gap in earnings between metropolitan and nonmetropolitan men and women in both 1977 and 1987. Shows that returns outweigh endowments in explaining that gap for both men and women, although their importance decreases over the 10-year period. Uses the 1977 Quality of Employment Survey and the 1988 Current Population Survey. (KS)
