Race and Entrepreneurial Success: Black-Asian- and White-Owned Business in the United States

摘要

Race and Entrepreneurial Success provides a detailed description of the current state of minority-owned businesses in the United States. Fairlie and Robb advance our knowledge of black and Asian ownership in juxtaposition to white ownership. Their research utilizes an underused dataset, the Characteristics of Business Owners (CBO), collected by the U.S. Census Bureau, and their book is a needed fact-book for scholars interested in the current state of minority-owned businesses. Though the authors attempt to examine the causes of racial disparities, the main contribution of this work is its detailed description of the black and Asian businesses, their background, and their rates of success.
