A racial statistics puzzle”: Racial ambiguity and the mass reclassification of race in Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico saw dramatic shifts in racial self-identification in the 2020 census. The share of respondents identifying as White plunged from 76 percent in 2010 to 17 percent in 2020. This drop coincided with a 50 percent decline in the Black Puerto Rican count. This study examines how the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 race question design and post-hoc editing of race responses may have contributed to racial boundary shifting. Using microdata from the…

Global Inequalities in US Visa Rejections: Evidence from Visitor Visa Applications Submitted Between 2006 and 2021
This study uses data from the US Department of State and other sources to examine inequalities in the use of visas to regulate population mobility to the United States.

For example, the top 15 countries with the lowest rejection rates were mostly wealthy states in the Middle East and Euro…

In effect, the number of single-race Black Latinos declined by 3 percent since 2010, while …
