When people ask me why I don't care about my h-index, citations, etc., I point out that racism means that's a losing game. Cause this ain't just in economics.

Screenshot of the article. Title: The Color of Ideas: Racial Dynamics and Citations in Economics. Authors: Marlene Koffi, Roland Pongou, and Leonard Wantchekon. NBER Working Paper No. 33150. Published November 2024. JEL No. A14, I23, J15. Abstract reads: This paper investigates the existence of racial disparities in the dissemination of ideas using the paper citation network in economics. Exploiting a comprehensive dataset of over 330,000 publications from 1950 to 2021, combined with manually collected data from the CVs of thousands of economists, we document that papers authored by non-White scholars (Black, Hispanic, or Asian) receive 5.1% to 9.6% fewer citations than those authored by White scholars. The citation gap remains or even amplifies with increasing author seniority and conventional quality indicators and is especially pronounced for Black authors. Moreover, papers authored by non-White scholars are less likely to serve as citation bridges and are less often cited by highly cited papers as measured by the centrality indexes, limiting both their direct and indirect influence. Our analysis indicates that this disparity is not attributable to differences in research quality, author ability, or visibility. Rather, it is largely driven by homophily in citation patterns and racial clusters in networks, where scholars tend to cite authors from their racial group. These findings can be rationalized by a simple theoretical model where citation costs and peer-review preferences influence citation behavior. Then, we provide suggestive evidence that reducing information friction—thereby lowering the cost of citing—could reduce the racial citation gap by up to 50%. Finally, using natural language processing, we highlight the complementarity across racial groups in research and discuss potential losses from racial barriers to idea diffusion.

"Your English is so good!" A common but problematic phrase. In this short article, I unpack how linguistic bias shows up in language classrooms & explore 4 practical ways to foster inclusivity & celebrate linguistic diversity. Let’s rethink how we value every voice.

Denver school closures: Board votes to shutter 7 schools, shrink 3 more www.chalkbeat.org/colorado/202...

"The district is providing more than $3.8 million in subsidies to the 10 schools this year, a situation board member John Youngquist called 'inequitable, unaffordable, and unsustainable.'"

Oh yay, this paper is finally out at AERA Open!

journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
Screenshot of the top of the article. Title is Racial Category Usage in Education Research: Examining the Publications from AERA Journals. Authors are Dominique J Baker, Karly S Ford, Samantha Viano, and Marc P Johnston-Guerrero. Abstract reads: How scholars name different racial groups has powerful salience for understanding what researchers study. We explored how education researchers used racial terminology in recently published high-profile peer-reviewed studies. Our sample included 1,427 original empirical studies published in the nonreview AERA journals from 2009 to 2019. We found that two thirds of articles used at least one racial category term, with an increase from about half to almost three quarters of published studies between 2009 and 2019. Other trends include the increasing popularity of the term Black, the emergence of gender-expansive terms such as Latinx, the popularity of the term Hispanic in quantitative studies, and the paucity of studies with terms connoting missing race data or including terms describing Indigenous and multiracial peoples.
