Models of wage determination suggest a positive association between monopoly power and the ability of employers to discriminate. Past research on this issue has confused the influence of race, unionization, and market structure. This study measures racial wage differentials for four market structure-union status groups: union members employed in low- and high-concentration industries and nonmembers employed in low- and high-concentration industries. There is modest, but persistent evidence of larger racial wage differentials in high-concentration industries for nonunion workers. Market structure does not, however, influence racial wage differentials for union members. Copyright 1994 by MIT Press.
