Coarse indicators of racial differences do not suffice in capturing this relationship; therefore, we introduce a score-based procedure of white and indigenous racial intensities that allows us to approximate these mixed racial heritages. We introduce a score-based procedure of white and indigenous racial intensities that allows us to approximate the heterogeneity within the mestizo population. We construct two types of indicators of racial intensities using a score-based procedure: a single-dimensional indicator of degrees of whiteness and a two-dimensional indicator combining degrees of both whiteness and indigenousness. This second indicator allows us to study nonlinearities in earning differences across mixed white and indigenous racial characteristics. <strong>Our estimates from a <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Semiparametric_model\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>semiparametric model<\/strong><\/a><strong> show evidence of a race premium for whiteness on earnings, statistically significant among wage earners but not among the self-employed.<\/strong> These results may be consistent with a story of employer discrimination.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ethnicity and Earnings in a Mixed-Race Labor Market Economic Development and Cultural Change Volume 55, Number 4 (July 2007) pages 709-734 Hugo \u00d1opo Inter-Amerian Development Bank Jaime Saavedra World Bank M\u00e1ximo Torero International Food Policy Research Institute This study examines the relationship between earnings and racial differences in a context in which various races have [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,21,14647,8,394],"tags":[13939,13936,13937,13938,674],"class_list":["post-29407","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","category-latincarib","category-economics","category-media-archive","category-socialscience","tag-economic-development-and-cultural-change","tag-hugo-nopo","tag-jaime-saavedra","tag-maximo-torero","tag-peru"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29407","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=29407"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29407\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":47401,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29407\/revisions\/47401"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=29407"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=29407"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=29407"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
