摘要

本文考察了由黑人经济学家撰写或发表在黑人经济学家组织的旗舰期刊《黑人政治经济学评论》(RBPE)上的关于种族和犯罪经济学的研究在多大程度上被主流经济学低估了。我们使用现代文献计量学方法来检验犯罪文献经济学中的引文偏倚。我们还确定了被主流文献忽视的三个研究流的贡献:身份、警察使用武力和大规模监禁。我们发现有证据表明,黑人在顶级经济学期刊上发表的关于种族和犯罪的文章被引用的可能性低于非黑人,而发表在RBPE上的文章被引用的可能性低于发表在其他期刊上的文章。对一些未被引用的文章的回顾表明,与身份、警察使用武力和大规模监禁相关的主题,对政策制定者和那些寻求解决刑事法律体系中持续存在的种族差异问题的人来说,具有宝贵的见解。(凝胶a11, a14, h75, j15, k42)

Racial Isolation and Marginalization of Economic Research on Race and Crime
This essay examines the extent to which research on the economics of race and crime produced by Black economists or published in the flagship journal of the organization of Black economists, the Review of Black Political Economy (RBPE), is undervalued by mainstream economics. We use modern bibliometric methods to test for citation biases in the economics of crime literature. We also identify the contributions of three streams of research overlooked in the mainstream literature: identity, police use of force, and mass incarceration. We find evidence that Blacks publishing on race and crime in top economics journals are less likely to be cited than non-Blacks and that articles published in the RBPE are less likely to be cited than articles published in other journals. A review of some under-cited articles reveals that themes related to identity, police use of force, and mass incarceration hold valuable insights for policy makers and those seeking solutions to problems of persistent racial disparities in the criminal legal system. (JEL A11, A14, H75, J15, K42)

期刊介绍: Commencing in 1969, the Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) serves as a vital resource for economists, offering a means to stay informed about the extensive literature in the field. Each JEL issue features commissioned, peer-reviewed survey and review articles, book reviews, an annotated bibliography categorizing new books by subject, and an annual index of dissertations from North American universities.
