Diversifying economics: Resources for Black and other underrepresented minorities
This post has been updated recently on 16 October, 2023.
Over 2011-2017, the top 20 economic departments in the US awarded PhDs to only 15 Black students. In 2017, only 0.6% of the doctorates in economics and 2% of the undergraduate degrees in economics awarded in the US went to Black women. The Institute for Fiscal Studies recently found that Black economists in the UK are 64% less likely to work in Russell Group universities than white economists. Out of the 7,567 papers published in the top 5 economic journals between 1990 and 2018, only 29 probed questions on race and ethnicity. In the climate survey conducted by the American Economic Association in 2019, almost half of Black economists reported having faced discriminatory and unfair treatment on the basis of their race. These are just some of the worrisome statistics about our field, but it has been clear for some time that economics has been a hostile and discriminatory environment for racial and other minorities. A recent study by Amanda Bayer, Gary Hoover, and Ebonya Washington based on surveys and interviews of underrepresented minorities in the field highlighted some consistent issues including bias, a hostile environment, lack of good mentoring, and the hidden curriculum problem, where students do not have critical information needed to enter and succeed in the field. To that end, we have put together a list of some of the resources out there that can be stepping stones toward diversifying economics.
