Roland Fryer: 2015 John Bates Clark Medalist

Lawrence Katz

Journal of Economic Perspectives, 2016, vol. 30, issue 1, 207-24

Abstract: Roland Fryer is an extraordinary applied microeconomist whose research output related to racial inequality, the US racial achievement gap, and the design and evaluation of educational policies make him a worthy recipient of the 2015 John Bates Clark Medal. I will divide this survey of Roland's research into five categories: the racial achievement gap, education policies and reforms, economics of social interactions, the economics of discrimination and anti-discrimination policies, and further topics involving the black-white racial divide.
