The Economics of Race

This seminar addresses how social values have impacted economic outcomes as these relate to specific classifications of people and in turn, how the economic status of groups has impacted social perception. The discussion highlights the U.S. experience of African Americans, Native peoples, individuals of Mexican and Puerto Rican classification, Chinese, Japanese, and East Indians. Participants are exposed to the causal relationship between economic disparity, regulatory actions, and variations in ethnic integration within the U.S. through the evaluation of differences in mode of immigration, initial and longitudinal human capital endowment, and discriminatory victimization.

This program will be conducted by Dr. Madhavi Venkatesan.
