Abstract

A full interactive earnings model measures the earnings premium enjoyed by African-American men in cities headed by African-American mayors. After controlling for selection into the labour force, African-American men in such cities are found to enjoy a 7.9% earnings premium, which derives mainly from a higher return to high-school education.
