    This paper examines why 3-year federal student loan repayment rates differ between Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and other not-for-profit, 4-year institutions, and how institutional characteristics—such as resource levels, student composition, and intercollegiate athletics—contribute to this gap. Using a panel of 709 institutions from FY 2010 to FY 2017, we apply entropy balancing to reweight characteristics and estimate ra…

    This study uses mixed methods to investigate the factors influencing engagement with financial advisors among high-income Black individuals. Results suggest that income and educational background are pivotal determinants of seeking financial advice, while personal knowledge of finances, risk tolerance, and owning stock and brokerage accounts show no significant impact. We also find that issues of trust and conflict of interest hinder this demogra…

  • The Persistent Myths of “Acting White” and Race Neutral Alternatives to Affirmative Action in Admissions

    This paper discusses the persistent myths that cloud our understanding of two politically charged themes that have been featured in discussions of the educational outcomes of Blacks: “Acting White” and Race Neutral Alternatives to Affirmative Action in postsecondary admissions. We discuss research that shows that the “Acting White” hypothesis fails both theoretically and empirically to explain differences in educational outcomes between blacks an…

    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…
