  • Affirmative action programs and business ownership among minorities and women

    Open AccessRobert W Fairlie, Robert Fairlie et al.ARTICLESmall Business Economics2012

    Affirmative action programs are commonly used as a means to level the playing field for minority- and women-owned firms in public procurement markets, and therefore may be a positive factor in business entry and survival.
