New Approaches to the Dynamics, Measurement and Economic Implications of Ethnic Diversity.
This book examines the measurement and econometric effects of ethnic diversity. This issue is of great relevance to research and policy and is currently being discussed a great deal in the literature. In particular, a sizable literature has suggested that ethnic diversity constitutes a significant b...
