QuantCrit: rectifying quantitative methods through critical race theory

From Race to Class Struggle: Re-Problematizing Critical Race Theory

Islamophobia, Racism and Critical Race Theory

Critical race theory (CRT) in today’s multi-cultural society seems somewhat of a difficult concept to appreciate. The notion that racism and inequality exists regardless of any group formation advocating racism in the 21st century illustrates race and inequality play a significant role in western society. Many critical race theorists in the field suggest that racism transcends across white elit...

Quantitative Deformation Theorems and Critical Point Theory

It is well known that deformation theorems are the basic tools in critical point theory. They can be derived under a condition of Palais-Smale type ((PS), for short). In the classical setting of a C1 functional f defined on a Banach space X (or a C2 Finsler manifold), we refer to [15]; for a continuous functional f defined on a complete metric space X, we refer to [8], the results of which incl...

A Quantitative Rat Race Theory of Labor Market Dynamics

A fundamental puzzle for productivity driven business cycle theories is that labor productivity and hours are negatively correlated. I refine the empirical puzzle and provide a theory to account for it. I emphasize that hours per worker and individual hours relative to usual hours move counter to productivity. In the cross-section, I find that almost all workers increase their hours when produc...
