Abstract:
Racial justice has been at the forefront of the public discourse, and although economists in academia have been coming to the realization that racial justice is not adequately addressed in the undergraduate economics instruction, topics related to race and racism remain rare in economics courses. This paper shows how to incorporate racial justice topics into an econometrics course. Students select journal articles about race in the economy, present the articles to the class and lead a discussion. Students benefit by strengthening their econometrics skills and using evidence-based approach to gain knowledge of the role that racism has played in the economy.
