Description: "The authors examine racial and ethnic differences in computer ownership and Internet usage using data from a survey conducted by the Nomura Research Institute in 2000.  They focus on on-line shopping because few studies have examined racial and ethnic differences in e-commerce.  The results indicate that blacks and Hispanics are less likely to own or use a computer than are non-Hispanic whites but are not less likely to shop on-line.  Indeed, blacks appear to shop on-line more frequently and to spend more than non-Hispanic whites do.  JEL classification: O33, L86, J15"--Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta web site.
