This approach has yielded many interesting results, including a solution to the dilemma of two ongoing crises since 2004: the rural labor surplus and severe shortage of migrant labor. While male workers generally received less favorable treatment and consequently enjoyed a lower average employment probability than female workers in 1996, they also received preferential treatment over female workers, who otherwise had identical worker characteristics in 2005. We provide new estimates for male-female hourly wage differentials in urban China, and our results indicate that the hourly wage differentials and the unexplained part of the hourly wage differentials are smaller than the differentials obtained by ignoring the sample selection bias. We study China?s new dual labor market, which is shifting from a rural migration versus urban workers setup to informal workers versus formal workers setup, and present some interesting results. Our study is the first to adopt the IV methodology and the Heckman (1979) two-step procedure simultaneously for the estimation of economic returns on schooling in China. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Economics,$x2191-5504 606 $aLabor economics 606 $aSocial sciences 606 $aStatistics  606 $aLabor Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W37000 606 $aSocial Sciences, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X00000 606 $aStatistics for Social Sciences, Humanities, Law$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/S17040 615 0$aLabor economics. 615 0$aSocial sciences. 615 0$aStatistics . 615 14$aLabor Economics. 615 24$aSocial Sciences, general. 615 24$aStatistics for Social Sciences, Humanities, Law. 676 $a331.120951 700 $aChen$b Guifu$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01057894 702 $aHamori$b Shigeyuki$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298536003321 996 $aRural Labor Migration, Discrimination, and the New Dual Labor Market in China$92495390 997 $aUNINA
