Minorities in Economics (MinE) Best Paper Award
Conversation with Federico Ricca & Francesco Trebbi
Wednesday, January 11, 17:00 CET, Virtual
|
The 2022 MinE Best Paper Award was presented in August to Federico Ricca and Francesco Trebbi for their research Minority Underrepresentation in US Cities, which they presented at EEA 2022.
|
Motivation of Award Committee:
They establish that, in U.S. city politics, minority voters were strategically underrepresented through the manipulation of institutions. Their research is timely, and their findings based on clean identification of the causal effect from a narrow Supreme Court decision that removed federal preclearance requirements for some U.S. jurisdictions. The paper has immense policy significance as their uncovering of institutional linkages suggests important, indirect consequences of local reforms, and also opens doors for future research, especially in political economy.
