Papers authored by Black, Hispanic or Asian economists receive 5.1% to 9.6% fewer citations than those by White scholars.

The citation gap is largely driven by homophily in citation patterns and racial clusters in networks (i.e., cite authors from own racial group).

If you do not think there is something amiss with Kenya's participation in the planned intervention in Haiti, there is a problem. Silencing which guns? Who is wielding the master's tools to dismantle whose house?
