COURANT Considerable research suggests that sex-based differences in such qualifications as years of schooling, the timing and duration of work experience, and labor force attachment do not explain the bulk either of the sex-based wage gap or of sex-based occupational segregation (see, for example, England and McCreary, 1986; Duncan and Corcoran, 1984; Corcoran, Duncan, and Ponza, 1984; England, 1982, 1984; Bielby and Baron, 1986; Treiman and Hartmann, 1981; Oaxaca, 1973). This presents a puzzle for many neoclassical economists who predict that group wage differences which are not due to group skill differences ought to be eroded over time by competitive forces (Arrow, 1972a, 1972b; Corcoran and Courant, 1985; Lewin and England, Mary E.
