VIRTUAL: Inequality and Income Support & Affirmative Action and Resource Allocation (morning session)

On November 5th, the panel sessions include “Inequality and Income Support” and “Affirmative Action and Resource Allocation.” Overall, the studies covered in these sessions employ different approaches, including theory, policy evaluations, and analyses of historical data, to understand the redistributive implications of economic and political policies. The policies include federal government acts on a minimum wage and immigration, quotas in political representation, and identity-contingent hiring and school admissions.

VIRTUAL: The Public Sector & Resource Allocation (afternoon session)

In what ways do the effects of historically discriminatory government policies linger today, and what scope exists to reduce their remaining harms? And does under-representation of minority groups in the ranks of government officials necessarily undermine the de facto fairness of de jure impartial institutions? Recent research provides insight into these questions, as well as into the implications of changing the way that race itself is conceptualized in empirical discrimination research.
