Economic Analysis of Discrimination

The Economic Analysis of Discrimination explores how bias against certain groups—based on race, gender, or other characteristics—affects economic decisions and outcomes. It examines how discrimination can lead to unequal access to jobs, education, and wages, impacting both individuals and society as a whole. Economists analyze patterns, such as pay gaps, to understand the costs of discrimination, which can include reduced productivity and overall economic growth. By measuring these effects, we gain insight into the importance of diversity and the benefits of creating equitable opportunities for all members of society.
