"The Differential Incidence and Severity of Food Insecurity by Racial, Ethnic, and Immigrant Groups over the Great Recession in the United States," co-authored by Alfonso Flores-Lagunes and Hugo Jales, was published in American Economic Association Papers & Proceedings. Flores-Lagunes and Jales, along with co-authors Judith Liu and Norbert L. Wilson, show that the disadvantaged groups with a higher incidence of food insecurity do not necessarily have a higher severity of food insecurity. 06/12/18
