Yeah, but who cares about that? He's saying what the people who write
grant checks want to hear.

Don't worry, I don't think he is...

If DN made inferences about black/white marginal productivity from a
specification like this, I'm not sure I want him on my side.

Q = f([white male labor input], [black male labor input], [white female labor
input], [black female labor input], [other labor input, I assume], capital input)
Assume Q = [input 1] ^B1 x [input 2] ^B2 x ... x [input n] ^Bn is the form for n
inputs, and use translog methods to estimate the B's. E

I should add a word about the real David Neumark, since I knew him slightly
at Michigan State. He is the #1 labor economist in the econ department
there, which means he is crucial to personnel decisions, research
applications, etc. in that field (at that school). He is fairly typical of
