Race and Entrepreneurial Return from Education: Do Wealth and Student Loan Debt Make a Difference?

12:00 pm - 1:30 pm Hybrid Event
Scholars have implicated racial wealth inequality in racial disparities in business ownership and success, and education debt. However, we know less about the extent to which entrepreneurial returns from educational achievement potentially vary by race, and the potential impact of education debt on racial inequality in entrepreneurship. In this talk, Daniel Auguste addresses this gap in the literature by examining the extent of the profit that black and white entrepreneurs gain from their ventures, how it varies by their educational achievement, and the degree to which student loan debt affects racial differences in business profit.
