Course Description:
This course covers models and evidence of statistical and taste-based discrimination with applications associated with race, gender, sexual orientation, country of origin, religion, disability status, and other personal characteristics. Focus will be directed both at the causes and the effects of discrimination, with particular interest in the impact of discrimination on inequality. The course will include discussions of how both discrimination and inequality are measured and how they have historically intersected to help shape the US economy to its current form. Public policy aimed at alleviating discrimination and inequality along with its impact will also be analyzed. |
