It is well-known that married men earn more than comparable single men, with typical estimates of the male marriage premium
in the range of 10–20%. Some research also finds that cohabiting men earn more than men not living with a female partner.
This study uses data from the General Social Survey and the National Health and Social Life Survey to examine whether a similar
premium accrues to gay men who live with a male partner and whether cohabiting gay men have different observable characteristics
than non-cohabiting gay men. Controlling for observable characteristics, cohabiting gay men do not earn significantly more
than other gay men or more than unmarried heterosexual men. Cohabiting heterosexual men also do not earn more than non-cohabiting
heterosexual men.

Using a unique data source on marital status, partnership and sexual orientation of academics and administrators at British
universities, we estimate the impact of personal relationships upon earnings for men and women. While university data cover
a relatively homogeneous group of workers, the two sides of the university are very different, with administrative jobs being
more like the general job market in the economy. We find a large and significant married male premium, but only on the administrative
side of the university. There is no female marriage premium, and no partnership return to gay men or to either heterosexual
or homosexual women.

This paper provides insight into the wage gap between lesbians and heterosexual women. Using data from the 2000 Decennial
Census, we find a lesbian premium that equals approximately 10% for women without a bachelor’s degree, and is nearly non-existent
for women with higher levels of education. These findings are consistent with proposition that the gap between lesbians’ and
heterosexual women’s commitment to the labor market narrows at higher levels of education. We also find that controls for
industry and occupation exert only a small effect on the gap between lesbian and heterosexual women’s wages.

We test the hypothesis that in an economic recovery, unionization negatively affects job creation. We examine state-level
job growth following two recent recessions, those with troughs in November 1982 and March 1991. In the five years following
the troughs, we assess whether variations across states in union membership and right-to-work laws affect the rate of job
growth. We find evidence that links union influence to slower job growth during an economic recovery, a finding consistent
with previous studies reporting that unions negatively affect average employment and employment growth.

A Short Commentary on the article 'Staying Put in the Closet: Examining Clinical Practice and Countertransference Issues in
Work with Gay Men Married to Straight Women' by Edward Alessi. The focus is upon countertransference issues, especially therapeutic
ambition, in working clinically with heterosexually married gay men. The work of the interpersonal school is emphasized as
providing a creative approach to therapeutic ambition with Otto Allen Will's concept of the governing principle of uncertainty.

Sexual orientation, income, and non-pecuniary economic outcomes: new evidence from young lesbians in Australia 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Christopher Carpenter 《Review of Economics of the Household》2008,6(4):391-408
Although there is a growing international literature examining the relationship between sexual orientation and income or wages,
there is far less evidence on whether sexual minorities experience systematically different non-pecuniary economic outcomes.
I use confidential representative data on over 9,000 young Australian women age 22–27 with information on self-reported sexual
orientation, income, and non-pecuniary economic outcomes such as: workplace harassment, job search difficulty, work stress,
and job satisfaction. After controlling for demographic and work characteristics, I find that in comparison to heterosexual
women the young lesbians in my sample: (1) have lower personal incomes; (2) have significantly higher odds of reporting distressing
harassment at work, difficulty finding a job, losing a job, and decreased income; and (3) are significantly more dissatisfied
with and report more stress about economic aspects of their lives (e.g. work, career, money). Differentials for non-economic
aspects of life are generally smaller. These results for young lesbians in Australia suggest that lesbians are not a universally
“privileged” minority and highlight the need for more research into lifecycle variations into both pecuniary and non-pecuniary
aspects of economic well-being.

This paper provides a multilayered analysis of how lesbian mothers and gay fathers construct their families in a social context
that has been described by Steven Seidman (2004) as “beyond the closet.” We stress how our participants’ family-building experiences are comparable to other non-biologically
related families, but distinct due to heterosexual dominance. Using in-depth qualitative interviews with 18 lesbian birth
mothers and 22 gay fathers, the authors discuss how participants navigate heterosexual dominance in institutions and in personal
interactions.

Focusing on the interactional dynamics of movements, we find that two constructs, voice and agency are critical to the development of a sense of “groupness” and can aid social movement actors in accomplishing desired goals.
Voice and agency are accomplished when movement actors engage in various processes such as planning and strategizing, completion
of goal-oriented tasks and other unifying activities. We examine four social movement organizations operating in separate
movement contexts with different outcomes: contested gay politics in Cincinnati, Ohio and grassroots feminism in Cleveland,
Ohio and New York City, New York. We find that groups will have a better chance at achieving their goals if members are able
to create a unified voice, and if leaders include and draw from the strengths of those they recruit, thus allowing a sense
of agency.

This paper examines empirical links between sexual orientation and self-reported lying using data collected in several waves
of Georgia Institute of Technology’s World Wide Web Users Survey. The data include questions about sexual orientation, lying
in cyberspace, and a broad range of demographic information. According to the theoretical framework of Gneezy (Am Econ Rev
95: 384–395, 2005) on the economics of deception, individuals conceal or falsify information when the expected benefit of lying exceeds its
costs in terms of psychic disutility. If non-heterosexuals expect to benefit more by falsifying information, then this theory
predicts higher rates of lying among non-heterosexuals. The data show that gays and lesbians do indeed report lying more often
than heterosexuals, both unconditionally in bivariate correlations and after controlling for demographic and geographic differences.
These empirical results are consistent with the conclusion that non-heterosexuals expect higher benefits from concealing personal
information because of anti-homosexual discrimination.

I investigate how living wage legislation affects poverty. I find evidence that living wage ordinances modestly reduce poverty
rates where such ordinances are enacted. However, there is no evidence that state minimum wage laws do so. The difference
in the impacts of the two types of legislation conceivably stems from a difference in the party responsible for bearing the
burden of the cost.

Using data from the American Time Use Survey for the years 2003–2006, this paper finds that housework has a negative relation
with wages for both women and men. The negative relation between housework time and wages is not likely to arise from omitted
working conditions that are correlated with housework, nor from omitted effort. For women, the negative relation between housework
and wages appears in most occupations, including professional and managerial occupations. The connection of housework time
to the ‘lack of interest’ argument proposed by defendants in class action sex discrimination cases is examined and is not
supported by the evidence.

This paper concerns the author’s countertransference reflections on her work with a gay adolescent who identifies with powerfully
destructive internal objects, including Hitler and the Monster. The author describes her countertransference inquiry through
which she experiences her own potential destructiveness in order to help accommodate her adolescent patient’s rejected and
disowned self states.

Do Reservation Wages Really Decline? Some International Evidence on the Determinants of Reservation Wages 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Using cross-country data, we investigate the determinants of reservation wages and their course over the jobless spell. Higher
unemployment benefits lead to higher reservation wages. Further, again consistent with the basic search model, repeated observations
on the same individual provide scant evidence of declining reservation wages.

Did the legalization of abortion increase women’s household bargaining power? Evidence from labor supply 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Sonia Oreffice 《Review of Economics of the Household》2007,5(2):181-207
I estimate the impact of abortion legalization on spouses’ labor supplies to test whether legalization increased women’s household
bargaining power, in a collective household behavior framework. Based on CPS data, I find that wives’ labor supply decreased
and their husbands’ increased, which is consistent with the bargaining hypothesis. This contrasts with most studies of abortion
and birth control technologies, which predict a labor supply effect only for women, and of opposite sign. Also consistent
with the bargaining interpretation, I estimate no significant impact on anti-abortion religious couples or on those who regularly
used contraceptives. PSID data yield supportive evidence.

Evidence suggests a large portion of the gender wage gap is explained by gender occupational segregation. A common hypothesis
is that gender differences in preferences or abilities explain this segregation; women may prefer jobs that provide more “family-friendly”
fringe benefits. Much of the research provides no direct evidence on gender differences in access to fringe benefits, nor
how provision affects wages. Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979, we find that women are more likely
to receive family-friendly benefits, but not other types of fringe benefits. We find no evidence that the differences in fringe
benefits explain the gender wage gap.

Although the health effect of retirement has important policy implications, few economists have researched the topic. This
paper utilizes longitudinal data from the Health and Retirement Study and instruments retirement status using exogenous variation
in public and private pensions. Subjective health change models indicate retirement preserves the health of both men and women,
although insignificant results for objective health change models suggest the preservation may be more perceived than real.
The same pattern of results is found using continuous measures of annual hours. At the very least, the results give strong
evidence against the anecdotal idea that retirement harms health.

This study investigates perceptions of workplace discrimination among racial minorities in Canada. Specifically, the study
examines how objective experiences of disadvantage and expectations for equity influence racial minorities’ perceptions of
discrimination. The results indicate that while both of these factors affect perceptions of discrimination, expectations for
equity may be especially important. Although new immigrants are among the most disadvantaged groups in the Canadian labor
market, they are less likely to perceive discrimination than longer term immigrants, who may have higher expectations for
equitable treatment. Education also increases the perception of discrimination among immigrants, perhaps due to the higher
expectations of educated immigrants. Lastly, objective income inequity is not found to be related to perceived discrimination.

“Alienation,” in the sense of disenchantment with core institutions of society, increased after the mid-1960s. Most accounts hold that the rise in alienation was uniform across all groups. This paper evaluates the hypothesis of uniform change using data from the Harris Polls. We find evidence of both short-term and long-term shifts in patterns of alienation. Blacks and low-income people are less alienated under Democratic than under Republican administrations. Over the long term, increases in alienation have been larger among women and people without a college degree.

In this study we investigate the relationship between income and charitable giving. Previous research shows inconsistent findings
regarding both the effect of income on the probability of giving and the proportion of income spent on charitable giving.
We test hypotheses with the Giving in The Netherlands Panel Study 2003 (N = 1,316). We do not find an effect of income on the probability of giving, but a consistent negative effect of income on
both total and religious donations as a proportion of income. This effect cannot be explained by stronger religious affiliation
of lower income groups, or by other differences such as age, and price of giving. We find evidence in favor of a giving standard:
Norms concerning the level of donations in specific situations that people in different income groups share, leading lower
income groups to donate a higher proportion of their income.

Plurality rule is mostly criticized from being capable of choosing an alternative considered as worst by a strict majority.
This paper considers elections in which the agenda consists of potential candidates strategically choosing whether or not
to enter the election. In this context, we examine the ability of scoring rules to fulfil the Condorcet criterion. We show
for the case of three potential candidates that Plurality rule is the only scoring rule that satisfies a version of the Condorcet
criterion in two cases: 1) when preferences are single-peaked and, 2) when preferences are single-dipped.
