| This note exploits an alternative but simple way to examine the employment effect of wage discrimination when the constant elasticity labor supply curves are strictly concave. The Bernoulli inequality applied in this paper allows us to show that wage discrimination increases total employment in a relative simple way, without resorting to complicated manipulations as were used by Formby, Layson and Smith (1983) and Shieh (2001). |
