Playing catch up: A term-level investigation of the racial gap in STEM retention
This paper examines differences in STEM retention between minority and non-minority students enrolled at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) from 1980 through 2006. Using detailed administrative records of undergraduate students, we document that minority students and non-minority students take divergent pathways through the STEM major. Specifically, minority students take fewer lower division STEM courses in their early career, whic…
Under pressure: How faculty gender and contract uncertainty impact students’ grades
The Impact of Simple Institutions in Experimental Economies with Poverty Traps
We introduce an experimental approach to study the effect of institutions on economic growth. In \neach period, agents produce and trade output in a market, and allocate it to consumption and \ninvestment. Productivity is higher if total capital stock is above a threshold. The threshold externality \ngenerates two steady states – a suboptimal poverty trap and an optimal steady state. In a baseline \ntreatment, the economies converge to the povert…
