Bradley L. Hardy

Hardy will investigate how historical racial segregation in different geographical areas of the U.S. has affected contemporary socioeconomic outcomes for racial minorities. By combining data on economic mobility from the Equality of Opportunity Project with new data on segregation between 1880 and 1940, he will analyze the extent to which long-standing racial disparities in wealth, income, and health outcomes have continued to shape intergenerational inequality over the long term.
