The Effects of School Location on the Earnings of Black and White Youths.
Sexton, Edwin A.; Nickel, Janet F.
Economics of Education Review, v11 n1 p11-18 1992
Hypothesizes that the labor market recognizes differences in the educational quality and quantity of urban and suburban education and rewards young workers accordingly. Estimating earnings equations for African-American and white youths shows that attendance at a central city high school does, indeed, lower earnings between 4 and 10 percent. (12 references) (MLH)
