Report on the Committee on the Status of Minority Groups in the Economics Profession

摘要

The Committee on the Status of Minority Groups in the Economics Profession (CSMGEP) was established by the American Economic Association (AEA) in the early 1970s to oversee a "pipeline program" to increase the representation of minority groups in the economics profession and to monitor the racial and ethnic diversity of the profession. This report begins with recent data on the numbers and proportions of minorities studying economics at the undergraduate and graduate levels. It also reports results from a recent survey of minority faculty in economics departments. It then presents updated information on the two components of the Pipeline Program CSMGEP oversees: the Summer Program and the Mentoring Program. Finally, it summarizes the Committee's activities this past year.
