Product Market Structure and Labor Market Discrimination

Preface

Preface Most books require the efforts of people not listed on the cover page or table of contents. This volume is no exception. We owe great appreciation to our families for providing us supportive home environments and our colleagues and students at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee (UWM) for providing challenging work environments. Specific thanks are expressed to Richard Meadows, William Holahan and Sunwoong Kim at UWM for their support of our research efforts in general and this project in particular. We are especially pleased that this volume joins together colleagues with whom we have worked in the past, new colleagues with whom we have enjoyed working for the first time, and former students who are now colleagues in their own rights. John Heywood gives special thanks to Susan Donohue who does her job so well that coming to work Monday mornings is always a pleasure. James Peoples gratefully acknowledges the long-term support and encouragement of the Ford Foundation. xiii ...
