Mini Course Series, Part 4: “Discrimination and Systemic Inequality“
This splintering has unfortunate consequences for the profession. The American racial system is a general equilibrium system. What happens in the marriage market, for instance, doesn’t stay in the marriage market; it has consequences for health, wealth, education, crime, housing, and inter-generational mobility. Because this is a general equilibrium system, you will never fully grasp it or effectively plan reforms if all you ever study are one or two partial equilibria. This mini course tries to get you thinking about general equilibrium.
