American Inequality Lab

Director: Roland G. Fryer, Jr.

The American Inequality Lab is devoted to understanding the causes and consequences of inequality in American society. The primary objective of the project is to use every tool available (empirical, experimental, and theoretical) to answer targeted questions about inequality. The broader objective of the lab is to employ scientific methods – rather than anecdotal or ideological reasoning – to improve public decision making and policy around issues related to inequality in the U.S. To learn more about the Lab’s projects and findings, please visit http://americaninequalitylab.com.
