Abstract
In the presence of employer discrimination with variable labor supplies and variable discrimination preferences, the effects of changing population composition on wage levels cannot be signed a priori. The direction of the effects on wage levels depend on the signs and relative magnitudes of three effects: an aggregate market, a relative market, and a preference distribution effect.
