“…Therefore, we examine if employers who systematically underestimate the ability of nonwhite workers when they join their firm, regardless of how they come to this position, have a tendency to behave as predicted by Proposition 2 (or Proposition 3) of the theory ofability misperception. Lewis and Terrell (2001), Bratsberg and Terrell (1998), and Wolpin (1992) provide evidence consistent with the theory's predictions by using data on white and black males drawn from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY). However, since the findings of Lewis and Terrell are limited to black males and are not particular to any occupation, their findings are not robust to occupation type and other workplace settings.…”

“…However, others have found little variation in results across estimator choice. For example, see the research of Bratsberg and Terrell (1998) and Lewis and Terrell (2001). II Goldsmith, Veum, and Darity (2000) offer evidence that motivation is an important determinant of wages using data drawn from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youths.…”

“…In order to motivate our experiment, we discuss a model based on Farmer and Terrell (1996) and Lewis and Terrell (2001), who examine a statistical discrimination framework with Bayesian updating of employers' beliefs. A large number of employers hire workers for one period from a large pool of potential employees.…”

“…The models ofFarmer and Terrell (1996) andLewis and Terrell (2001) add an endogenous individual-specific human-capital parameter Zit, which affects the worker's marginal product. Since we are not modeling workers' decisions in this context, and because workers are employed by a firm for only one period, we can set Zit = 1 to obtain our simpler model.…”
