Shelly Lundberg and Richard Startz

Discussion Papers in Economics at the University of Washington from Department of Economics at the University of Washington

Abstract: Race and ethnicity play a central role in understainding the structure of inequality in the United States. In this paper, we focus on the economic chasm between black and white America and what economic theory can contribute to our understanding of both inequality and the design of effective policy.
