Final answer:

Pay gaps by race can be influenced by discrimination in the labor market, such as penalties for salary outcomes when Black job-seekers negotiate for higher pay. Gender stereotypes can also impact salary outcomes for women.

Step-by-step explanation:

In studying pay gaps by race, pre-market factors such as human capital explain an important share of pay gaps. However, an important share of gaps are also discrimination in the labor market. Discrimination feeding into pay gaps can occur in complex ways. For example, when Black job-seekers attempt to negotiate for a higher salary, they are penalized in terms of their salary outcomes. Likewise, women tend to be perceived more negatively than men when they try to negotiate, in part due to gender stereotypes around being “nice.”
