Abstract:
|
We examine whether handedness is related to performance in the labor market and, in
particular, earnings. We find a significant wage effect for left-handed men with high
levels of education. This positive wage effect is strongest among those who have lower
than average earnings relative to those of similar high education. This effect is not found
among women. |
