Ethnic and Other Minority Representation in UK Academic Economics
基于对英国经济学者的问卷调查，发现近12%的学者为少数族裔，但仅1%是英国出生的少数族裔；少数族裔对学术等级无显著影响，但对收入有显著负面影响，且41%的少数族裔学者认为遭受职场歧视。
Using a survey questionnaire of academic economists in the United Kingdom, we examine the representation of ethnic and other minorities. We find that nearly 12% of UK‐employed academic economists are of ethnic minority origin. However, only 1% of the sample are UK‐born ethnic minority. Controlling for individual and workplace characteristics, there is no significant ethnic minority effect on academic rank. However, there is a significant negative earnings effect. Further, 41% of ethnic minority economists feel that they have suffered workplace discrimination.
