Abstract
Barbara Bergmann was well known for many contributions to economics, but she was perhaps most famous for her 1971 occupational crowding hypothesis. The hypothesis was published during a surge of literature on the economics of discrimination, and it temporarily stood among the mainstream neoclassical theories before being relegated primarily to feminist and stratification economics. This article situates the crowding hypothesis among contemporary competing theories on the economics of discrimination and explains why it did not last in the mainstream camp. Despite Bergmann's neoclassical framing, the model's conclusions did not align with models of perfect competition and more closely aligned with heterodox perspectives on group power and conflict.
Barbara Bergmann因对经济学的许多贡献而闻名，但她最著名的可能是1971年的职业拥挤假说。这一假设是在歧视经济学文献激增期间发表的，在主要被归入女权主义和分层经济学之前，它暂时处于主流新古典主义理论之列。本文将拥挤假说置于当代歧视经济学竞争理论中，并解释了它为什么没有在主流阵营中持续存在。尽管Bergmann采用了新古典主义框架，但该模型的结论与完全竞争模型并不一致，而是与关于群体权力和冲突的异端观点更为一致。
