Race composition and earnings: effects by race, region and gender

Article Abstract:

Race, region and gender are significant variables in testing the effect of black representation on workers' earnings. Greater black representation leads to spatial differences in earnings between white and black men with the white males generally earning more than their black counterparts. Percent black accentuates earnings discrimination against southern black men as compared to the northern black men. However, the effects of discrimination is offset by the southern black men's earning gains from black representation. For women, black representation increased earnings for both black and white women.

The determinants of jail use across large US cities: An assessment of racial, ethnic, and economic threat explanations

Article Abstract:

The study is conducted to find out whether a cross-sectional relationship exists between theoretically derived indicators and the rate of jail admissions across major US cities. The results suggest that reducing social isolation of minorities might not only have the affect of improving race relations but might also reduce the likelihood that repressive control measures will be used against them.
