Does Greater Diversity in Executive Race/Ethnicity Reliably Predict Better Future Firm Financial Performance?Journal of Economics, Race, and Policy - - Trang 1-16 - 2023
Sekou Bermiss, Jeremiah Green, John R. M. Hand
In contrast to the equivocal findings in academic research, “the business case for diversity” is the dominant rhetorical paradigm for how US corporations debate actions and policies around racial/ethnic diversity. In this paper, we conduct an empirical test of the paradigm by gathering data on the race/ethnicity of the individuals shown on the leadership pages of S&P 500 firms’ websites as of mid-...... hiện toàn bộ

Isolation: an Alternative to the “Acting White” Hypothesis in Explaining Black Under-Enrollment in Advanced CoursesJournal of Economics, Race, and Policy - Tập 3 - Trang 117-122 - 2020
Dania V. Francis, William A. Darity
In this paper we propose a model for understanding the under-enrollment of black students in advanced courses that demonstrates how group differences in educational investment decisions can arise even in the absence of any group-level differences in underlying incentives or behavioral propensities. In our model, students gain peer group acceptance by spending time with other peer group members. Th...... hiện toàn bộ

Unlike previous research, our empirical approach treats these attitudes as jointly determined, which affords the opportunity to assess previously...... hiện toàn bộ

We investigate the racial differences in positional and directional earning mobility for blacks and whites using seven 6-year longitudinal samples drawn from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, extending from 1973 through 2015. Positional mobility comparisons are mixed for the proportion of each sample moving to a higher earnings category but reveal a higher percentage of blacks than whites trappe...... hiện toàn bộ
The Differential Impact of Monetary Policy on Blacks and Whites since the Great RecessionJournal of Economics, Race, and Policy - Tập 2 - Trang 137-149 - 2018
Ejindu S. Ume, Miesha J. Williams
This paper studies the differential impact of monetary policy on labor market responses for blacks and whites since the start of the Great Recession. We estimate and quantify these differences using a somewhat unconventional approach to identifying an expansionary monetary policy shock. At the long horizon, we find that black employment is more sensitive to changes in monetary policy than that of ...... hiện toàn bộ
