The Schooling Of Southern Blacks: The Roles Of Legal Activism And Private Philanthropy, 1910–1960*, John J. Donohue, James J. Heckman, Petra E. Todd

John Donohue

Improvements in education and educational quality are widely acknowledged to be major contributors to black economic progress in the twentieth century. This paper investigates the sources of improvement in black education in the South in the first half of the century and demonstrates the important roles of social activism, especially NAACP litigation and private philanthropy, in improving the quality and availability of public schooling. Many scholars view education as a rival to social activism in explaining black economic progress, but such a view misses the important role of philanthropic and legal interventions in promoting education.

Law And Macroeconomics: Employment Discrimination Litigation Over The Business Cycle, John J. Donohue, Peter Siegelman

John Donohue

For the past two decades the law and economics movement has been one of the most influential forces in the legal academy. Its practitioners have relentlessly sought to unleash microeconomic insights on formerly pristine areas of legal doctrine.

However, it represents a departure from the previous literature in that it considers the impact of macroeconomic phenomena on several aspects of employment discrimination litigation.
