Research by Professors Averett and Ruebeck featured in The Wall Street Journal
Research on mixed-race adolescents by Susan Averett, Dana Professor and head of economics, and Chris Ruebeck, associate professor of economics, has been featured today in “The Juggle,” a blog in The Wall Street Journal. The research looks at biracial teens’ struggle to define their identity. It concludes that the behavior of mixed-race teens doesn’t match directly with white or black teens, but is a new, separate way of behaving that pulls from both groups. The researchers’ paper, “Acting White or Acting Black: Mixed-Race Adolescents' Identity and Behavior,” was published in the March 5 edition of the scholarly journal The B.E. Journal of Economic Analysis & Policy.
