“…Part of the undercount of the behaviorally gay population in surveys is due to misreporting of sexual behavior by behaviorally gay men. This misreporting that undercounts behaviorally gay men is likely due to a desire for behaviorally gay men to protect their privacy (Berg and Lien 2009). While the misreporting will bias regression results, the bias is against finding statistically significant results in regression analysis.…”

HOW ENDAs EXTEND THE WORKWEEK: LEGAL PROTECTION AND THE LABOR SUPPLY OF BEHAVIORALLY GAY MEN

Employment Nondiscrimination Acts (ENDAs) have received much political attention in the recent past. Despite the political attention, very little research has investigated the impact of ENDAs. I analyze the impact of ENDAs on labor supplies, which is under‐researched in the policy analysis literature. My work is the first to investigate the labor supply patterns of behaviorally gay men using data that are representative of the entire behaviorally gay population. I show that ENDAs motivate behaviorally gay men to work roughly 15–20 h more per week and increase the probability that behaviorally gay men will supply any labor by approximately 7%. These results suggest that ENDAs increase the labor supply of behaviorally gay workers by increasing workplace tolerance of homosexuality. (JEL J2, J7, J1)

“…We make usual assumptions that honesty of the survey response for sexual orientation is uncorrelated with income 18 . We should point out, however, that there is some evidence that this assumption may not hold (cf., Berg and Lien, 2006, 2007). As one example, our results will be biased toward finding a wage penalty if gay men with high income relative to their human capital falsely report and are coded as heterosexual.…”

Wage Penalties and Sexual Orientation: An Update Using the General Social Survey

"This study uses data from the 1988 to 2006 General Social Survey (GSS) to examine the effects of sexual orientation on earnings. Previous research using the GSS has found that lesbians earn 18%-23% more than similarly qualified heterosexual women and that wage penalties for gay men are slightly larger than the premia for lesbians. Using behavioral definitions of sexual orientation based on the previous year and the previous 5 yr of sexual activity, we find the familiar wage premia/penalties for lesbian/gay workers in our ordinary least squares estimations, but we find that these wage differences are falling over time. Furthermore, in contrast to the earlier results, for our regressions over the entire sample period, correcting for differential selection into full-time work reduces the estimated penalties for unmarried gay men and eliminates the entire wage premium for all lesbians. There is now a sizeable, though imprecisely measured, penalty for some lesbians. "("JEL "J1, J3, J7) Copyright (c) 2009 Western Economic Association International.

“…The midpoint of each range is attributed to all the individuals in a given interval, except for the highest bracket which pools all the incomes above a threshold (C$100,000 for 2010–12; C$120,000 for 2013–14). For the highest bracket, income is attributed by adding the size of the uncensored intervals (C$20,000) to the largest midpoint (C$90,000 or C$110,000, depending on the GSS cycle), as implemented in previous studies (Berg and Lien, ). Since the analysis uses five consecutive cycles of the GSS, real incomes are calculated using the Canadian Consumer Price Index (Statistics Canada, ), setting 2014 as the base year.…”

Sexual orientation, labour supply and occupational sorting in Canada

Using five consecutive cycles of the Canadian General Social Survey covering 2010–14, the present article examines the differences in the labour supply and occupational sorting of partnered men and women by sexual orientation. Conditional on being gainfully employed, lesbians are found to have a higher labour supply than heterosexual women, even controlling for factors such as the number of children and the characteristics of the spouse. The reverse is true for gay men. The analysis of occupational structure shows that lesbians are more likely to sort into male‐dominated occupations, while the reverse is true for gay men. The findings of this article have implications for the correct interpretation of the sexual orientation related earnings gaps.
