Abstract

We explore the contributions of Black economists to research on major economic and social policy problems in the United States. We focus on applications in education, poverty and economic mobility, and public finance to extract common themes and patterns. The major themes that emerge include (i) Black economists’ examination of individual versus structural explanations for economic outcomes, (ii) the role played by race and discrimination, (iii) the endogenous determination of race, and (iv) the nature of objectivity and positionality in economic research. A unifying theme is a willingness of many Black economists to engage critically on economic policy issues, using frameworks both from within as well as outside of mainstream neoclassical economics.(JEL A11, D72, I23, I28, I32, J15, K42)
黑人经济学家研究种族与政策:对教育、贫困、流动性和公共财政的贡献
我们探讨了黑人经济学家对美国主要经济和社会政策问题研究的贡献。我们专注于教育、贫困和经济流动性以及公共财政领域的应用,以提取共同的主题和模式。出现的主要主题包括(i)黑人经济学家对经济结果的个人与结构解释的研究,(ii)种族和歧视所起的作用,(iii)种族的内生决定,以及(iv)经济研究中客观性和立场性的性质。一个统一的主题是,许多黑人经济学家愿意使用主流新古典经济学内外的框架,批判性地参与经济政策问题。(JEL A11、D72、I23、I28、I32、J15、K42)
