This grant supports Juan Carlos Suбrez Serrato, a professor of economics at Duke University and faculty associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), who is seeking to improve our understanding of DEI issues in economics by expanding the pool of researchers studying the economics of racial and ethnic disparities. Grant funds will provide one-year fellowships to three postdoctoral researchers whose work addresses labor market disparities, the institutions that reduce or reinforce them, and the ways in which economic choices can affect such outcomes. To reach perspectives beyond those of predominant groups in the profession, the plan is for Suбrez Serrato and the rest of a highly distinguished, diverse, and experienced selection committee to recruit assiduously for postdoctoral candidates from underrepresented groups. Fellows will spend a year working at NBER’s Cambridge headquarters, where they will each both work with a mentor and also network with the Bureau’s wider scholarly community.
