Question 1:

Economic discrimination puts the economy inside its production possibilities curve because discrimination:

promotes present consumption rather than production of capital goods.

often causes inflation, which reduces the nation's real output.

redistributes income from low-paid to high-paid persons.

arbitrarily blocks women and certain minorities from higher-productivity, higher wage jobs and thus keeps the economy from producing its maximum output.

Question 2:

Economic discrimination:

affects the distribution of domestic output and income, but not its total size.

places the economy at some point inside of its production possibilities curve.

affects the total size of domestic output and income, but not its distribution.

is shown as some point outside of an economy's production possibilities curve.

Question 3:

Labor market discrimination creates a:

larger domestic output but no redistribution.

redistribution of a smaller domestic output.

redistribution of a larger domestic output.

smaller domestic output but no redistribution.

Question 4:

An increase in the collective discrimination coefficients of employers will:

reduce the African-American wage rate, increase African-American employment, and lower the actual African-American-white wage ratio.

reduce the African-American wage rate, decrease African-American employment, and lower the actual African-American-white wage ratio.

increase the African-American wage rate, reduce African-American employment, and increase the actual African-American-white wage ratio.

increase the African-American wage rate, increase African-American employment, and increase the actual African-American-white wage ratio.

Question 5:

A reduction in the collective discrimination coefficients of employers will:

increase the African-American wage rate, increase African-American employment, and increase the actual African-American-white wage ratio.

Question 6:

In the taste-for-discrimination model:

women and minorities are confined to a limited number of occupations.

white employers behave as if employing African-American workers adds to costs.

individual workers are judged by the characteristics of the groups to which they belong.

prejudiced white employers will never hire African-American workers.

Question 7:

Which of the following employers is the most prejudiced? Employer:

Question 8:

An implication of the taste-for-discrimination model is that:

other things equal, nondiscriminating firms will have lower production costs than discriminating firms.

discrimination will move a firm along its declining average total cost curve.

discrimination can lower a firm's production costs.

other things equal, discriminating firms will have lower production costs than nondiscriminating firms.

Question 9:

An employer is prejudiced, prefers to hire white rather than African-American workers, and is willing to pay higher wages to obtain white workers. This illustrates:

the crowding model.

statistical discrimination.

the taste-for-discrimination model.

reverse discrimination.

Question 10:

Empirical studies generally find that the estimated discrimination coefficient is larger in southern versus northern states. True or False: presuming that the wage differential is due to employer discrimination, this necessarily implies that there are more discriminating employers in the South than there are in the North.

n his passionate speech on race relations entitled "A More Perfect Union," (Links to an external site.) President Barack Obama asserts that "so many of the disparities that exist in the African-American community today can be directly traced to inequalities passed on from an earlier generation." Discuss at least one of the disparities he identified and how it continues to impact African American communities. Finally, what does he suggest as the best path forward toward developing a more perfect union in dealing with race relations in America--for African Americans and for Whites.
