Racial and socioeconomic inequality in educational opportunity and access
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- This dissertation investigates inequality in the educational system and comprises three distinct but interrelated studies that focus on inequality and stratification in education. The first paper is a comprehensive assessment of the sources of the Black gender gap in educational attainment using a decomposition approach. The second paper explores misperceptions of economic school segregation and parents' personal and policy preferences using a survey experiment. The third paper investigates the causal impact of district secessions on racial and economic achievement gaps using a difference-in-differences approach. Taken together, these studies can inform understandings of the sources of inequality in educational opportunities and outcomes, and illustrate how structural inequality, parental preferences, and policy changes are related to educational disparities.
