The determinants of income for employed indigenous Australians
Abstract
Considers the determinants of income for employed indigenous Australians compared with other Australians. Applies ordinary least squares (OLS) regression techniques to 1991 census data to consider the question: does the lower income of these indigenous people compared with other Australians reflect differences in their factor endowments or differences in the rewards they receive for a given set of endowments? Claims the results show that the main source of lower incomes for indigenous Australians was their smaller endowment of human capital.
