  • Race, Ethnicity, and the Distribution of Environmental Justice in the United States

    Open AccessGregory PriceARTICLEEnvironmental Justice2026

    With data from the U.S. General Social Survey linked with regional environmental quality data this article considers the individual demand for environmental quality as measured by stated preferences, relative to its supply, to determine if race/ethnicity matter for the demand and supply of environmental quality and environmental justice. Parameter estimates reveal that relative to Whites, the distribution of environmental quality is unjust for Af…

  • What Effect Does Being a Historically Black College/University Have on Endowments

    Open AccessGregory PriceARTICLEDu Bois Review Social Science…2025Referencias: 52

    This article estimates several causal counterfactual parameters of the effect of being an Historically Black College/University (HBCU) on college/university endowment, and on the probability of a college/university failing as a function of its financial health, which is proportional to endowment. Our various counterfactual causal parameter decomposition estimates suggest that the racial distinctiveness of HBCUs causes, and can account for cumulat…

  • What Can Historically Black Colleges and Universities Teach about Improving Higher Education Outcomes for Black Students

    Open AccessGregory N Price, Gregory Price et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Economic…2023

    Historically Black colleges and universities are institutions that were established prior to 1964 with the principal mission of educating Black Americans. In this essay, we focus on two main issues. We start by examining how Black College students perform across HBCUs and non-HBCUs by looking at a relatively broad range of outcomes, including college and graduate school completion, job satisfaction, social mobility, civic engagement, and health. …

  • Incarceration risk, asset pricing, and black‐white wealth inequality

    Open AccessGregory PriceARTICLESocial Science Quarterly2022Referencias: 47

    Introduction Historically, black Americans have been disproportionately at the bottom quantiles of the wealth distribution. As the choice of making any investment that can increase future wealth requires equating an asset's price to its return adjusted by a stochastic discount factor, this article considers if black‐white differences in the risk of incarceration, which can reduce the intertemporal marginal rate of substitution in consumption, mat…

  • Did Elijah Muhammad's Message To the Black Man Uplift Adherents? The Treatment Effects of Membership In The Nation of Islam

    Open AccessGregory Price, Brooks RobinsonARTICLEThe Review of Black Political…2022Citada por: 2Referencias: 13

    Established in 1930, the Nation of Islam (NOI) offered uplift to the wellbeing of Black Americans. Its charismatic leader, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, articulated how membership in the NOI would improve the well-being of Black Americans. We consider the impact of NOI membership on several measures of individual well-being. Using data from the first wave of the National Survey of Black Americans, we appeal to the Rubin Causal Framework to estim…

  • Racial Differences in Time at Work Not Working

    Open AccessWilliam Darity, William A Darity et al.ARTICLEIndustrial and Labor Relations…2022Citada por: 2Referencias: 47

    Racial differences in effort at work, if they exist, can potentially explain race-based wage/earnings disparities in the labor market. The authors estimate specifications of time spent on non-work activities at work by Black and White males and females with data from the American Time Use Survey. Estimates reveal that trivially small differences occur between non-Hispanic Black and non-Hispanic White males in time spent not working while on the j…

  • The Effect of Social Distancing on the Early Spread of the Novel Coronavirus

    Open AccessGregory Price, Eric van HolmARTICLESocial Science Quarterly2021Citada por: 1Referencias: 19

    This article quantifies the effect of individual social distancing on the spread of the novel coronavirus. To do so, we use data on time spent by individuals on activities that would potentially expose them to crowds from the American Time Use Survey linked with state‐level data on positive tests from the COVID Tracking Project. We estimate count data specifications of observed COVID‐19 infections at the state level as a function of control demog…

  • The Earnings and Income Mobility Consequences of Attending a Historically Black College/University

    Open AccessJuliet U Elu, Jared Ireland et al.ARTICLEThe Review of Black Political…2019Citada por: 2Referencias: 5

    This article considers the labor market consequences of attending a Historically Black College/University (HBCU). With 2015 U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard Data, we use a matching estimator to identify and estimate the treatment effect of HBCU attendance on median earnings, earnings relative to a high school graduate, and income relative to that of the household at the time of initial enrollment, 6 and 10 years after attendance. Ou…

  • The Kerner Commission Report

    Open AccessGregory PriceARTICLEThe Review of Black Political…2019Referencias: 1

    Approximately 50 years ago, the Kerner Commission Report cited pervasive racial discrimination in training, education, and employment as a contributor to Black–White inequality and stratification in the United States. This article considers if the Kerner Commission Report incentivized and possibly caused an increase in the production and hiring of Black PhD economists in academia. With longitudinal data on counts of economic doctorates earned by …

    Open AccessGregory Price, Maxton AllenARTICLEThe Review of Black Political…2013Citada por: 1Referencias: 14

    This paper considers whether the National Economic Association and its journal the Review of Black Political Economy have enhanced the scholarly status of black economists. A bibliometric analysis reveals that while the typical black economist has never published in the Review of Black Political Economy, the share of black economists publishing in the Review of Black Economy approximates the share of all articles published on the economic and pol…

  • Does Ethnicity Matter for Access to Childhood and Adolescent Health Capital in China? Evidence from the Wage-Height Relationship in the 2006 China Health and Nutrition Survey

    Open AccessJuliet U Elu, Gregory PriceARTICLEThe Review of Black Political…2013Citada por: 2Referencias: 6

    This paper considers whether ethnicity conditions the return and access to health capital in China. Given that the wage-height relationship reflects the labor market earnings returns to childhood and adolescent health capital, differences in the labor market returns to height by ethnicity reflect ethnic differences in access to health capital during childhood and adolescence. We theoretically motivate the role of height in earnings by providing a…

  • Hurricane Katrina as an Experiment in Housing Mobility and Neighborhood Effects

    Open AccessGregory PriceARTICLEThe Review of Black Political…2012Citada por: 1Referencias: 7

    Hurricane Katrina induced hundreds of thousands of New Orleans citizens to evacuate and relocate to different neighborhoods. Some of these evacuees moved to neighborhoods with poverty rates lower than the one they left in New Orleans. With survey data on a small sample of black Katrina evacuees who registered for absentee voter ballots, this paper explores whether or not there were improvements in the welfare of black evacuees— neighborhood effec…

  • The Incredible Shrinking Black Woman

    Open AccessJanice Johnson Dias, Gregory PriceARTICLEThe Review of Black Political…2012Referencias: 1

    Black American women are shrinking in height at a faster rate than other groups, a phenomenon that has consequences for the physical health and economic well-being of black females. Relative to the cohort born from 1955 to 1974, the most recent cohort (1970–1986) of black American women and girls have lost more than half an inch (approximately 0.56) in height. Adult height is a measure of net nutrition acquired during childhood and adolescence an…

  • The Relative Returns to Graduating from a Historically Black College/University

    This paper considers the returns to earning a baccalaureate degree from a Historically Black College/University (HBCU) relative to a non-HBCU for black Americans. With data from the National Survey of Black Americans, we use propensity score matching estimators to estimate the treatment effect of graduating from an HBCU on direct labor market outcomes, and on psychological outcomes that indirectly increase wages. We find that the treatment effect…

  • The Subprime Crisis and African Americans—Response

    Open AccessGregory PriceARTICLEThe Review of Black Political…2010Citada por: 3

    These remarks constitute a response to Sandra Philip's consideration of the subprime mortgage crisis and African Americans. While Philip's analysis of the recent collapse of the sub-prime mortgage market and its impact on African Americans is insightful and poignant, the scope of the analysis does not consider the role that race, inequality, political economy and stratification may have had. This response considers Philip's treatment of the subpr…

  • Does religion constrain the risky sex behaviour associated with HIV/Aids?

    Maury Granger, Maury D Granger et al.ARTICLEApplied Economics2009

    This article examines the likely effectiveness of public health interventions designed to change the risky sexual behaviour associated with Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS) by Faith-Based Organizations (FBOs). We utilize data from the General Social Survey (GSS) to estimate an economic model of sexual behaviour. Our theoretical approach proceeds by rationalizing, on evolutionary grounds, the existence of…

  • NEA Presidential Address

    Open AccessGregory PriceARTICLEThe Review of Black Political…2008Citada por: 3Referencias: 20

    Economists who publish research in the economics and political economy of race seem averse to citing similar research by black economists. As citations are an important determinant of success as a research economist, black economists can possibly offset the aversion of non-black economists in citing black economists, by citing black economists themselves. This NEA Presidential address considers the relevance of black economist citations, and eval…
