About this course

This course investigates differences in economic outcomes (job interviews, wages, policing and judicial decisions etc.) by group characteristics (gender, race etc.). We explore the potential reasons for these differences and specifically, when these differences are the result of discrimination. We study the economic theories of the distinct forms of discrimination and the empirical work testing those theories. Throughout, we will discuss policies to alleviate group-level differences wherever present.
