Abstract: In this paper, I compare the children of inter-ethnic marriages to study the impact of having a Hispanic last name. While men born to Hispanic father-White mothers earn less than those born to White father-Hispanic mothers, the gap could be explained entirely by educational differences. I also study the effect of identifying as Hispanic on earnings. I find that men that identify as Hispanic earn significantly less than those that do not, even after controlling for educational differences.
