Discrimination in the Post-Civil Rights Era: Beyond Market Interactions
认为后民权时代对黑人的歧视依然存在，尤其在劳动力市场，但程度较历史水平温和；技能差距是内生的，减少技能差距的道德义务不亚于反对市场歧视；不完全信息可能是比偏好更普遍的歧视根源。
This comment argues that discrimination against blacks remains important, especially in labor markets, but that its extent is modest both by historical standards and in relation to supply-side racial disparities. It contends that the racial skills gap is endogenous, reflecting the effects of historical and ongoing discrimination; and that the moral obligation to reduce disparities in skills between the races is no less than the obligation to fight market discrimination. Finally, it suggests that imperfect information may be a more pervasive and intractable cause of racial discrimination today than is behavior based on agents' purported distaste for associating with blacks.
