Clothing and Race: An Examination of the Effects of Race on Consumption

Abstract

dc:description

This study examines the effect of race on consumption and clothing expenditure is used as the measure of consumption because of its importance as a construct in anthropology, sociology and psychology. And also because historically, researchers from these disciplines and economics have reported that Blacks spent more on clothing than Whites at comparable income levels.
