Abstract

Uses qualitative response models of occupational choice toinvestigate differences in the occupational structures of minorityworkers relative to white men. Compares the accuracy of multinomiallogit and multiple discriminant analyses in predicting occupationaldistributions. Further, investigates whether these models yieldconsistent estimates of the level of occupational segregation ofminority workers. The results suggest that logit and discriminantanalysis are equally accurate and stable methods for comparingoccupational structures across groups of workers.
