Ethnic Diversity and Economic Performance
综述了族群多样性对经济政策和结果的正负面影响,涵盖不同规模社区,并指出族群身份内生形成和多样性测量等未解问题。
We survey and assess the literature on the positive and negative effects of ethnic diversity on economic policies and outcomes. Our focus is on communities of different size and organizational structure, such as countries, cities in developed countries, and villages and groups in developing countries. We also consider the endogenous formation of political jurisdictions and highlight several open issues in need of further research, in particular the endogenous formation of ethnic identity and the measurement of ethnic diversity.
