Professor Emeritus David Salkever has written a new policy brief tracking trends in household economic well-being and its disparities among Black, Hispanic, and White Americans.
The brief presents the development of a new index of economic well-being, the EWB-I, that is derived on an annual basis from the data in Federal Reserve Board’s annual Survey of Household Economic Decision-Making (SHED).
Salkever concludes that racial disparities were higher from 2016-2019 than from 2013-2016, when economic growth was widely shared across racial/ethnic groups.
