Cook is one of the world\u2019s most powerful economists. She taught economics at Harvard University and Michigan State University and served on the Obama administration\u2019s Council of Economic Advisers before being appointed, in 2022, to the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, which controls the interest rates and money supply of the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Despite her pedigree, questions have long persisted about her academic record. Her publication history is remarkably thin for a tenured professor, and her published work largely focuses on race activism rather than on rigorous, quantitative economics. Her nomination to the Fed required Vice President Kamala Harris to <a href=\"https:\/\/rollcall.com\/2022\/05\/10\/senate-confirms-lisa-cook-as-the-first-black-woman-on-the-federal-reserve-board\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cast<\/a> a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/schumer-dems-will-pass-covid-relief-bill-with-or-without-gop\/\" title=\"Schumer: Dems will pass COVID relief bill with or without GOP\">tie-breaking vote<\/a>; by contrast, her predecessor in the seat, Janet Yellen, now Treasury secretary, was <a href=\"https:\/\/home.treasury.gov\/news\/press-releases\/jy0001\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">confirmed<\/a> unanimously.<\/p>\n<p>The quality of her scholarship has also received criticism. Her most heralded work, 2014\u2019s \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/lisadcook.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/pats_paper17_1013_final_web.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Violence and Economic Activity: Evidence from African American Patents, 1870 to 1940<\/a>,\u201d examined the number of patents by black inventors in the past, concluding that the number plummeted in 1900 because of lynchings and discrimination. Other researchers soon discovered that the reason for the sudden drop in 1900 was that one of the databases Cook relied on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-has-granted-nearly-as-many-ethics-waivers-as-trump-did-in-four-years\/\" title=\"Biden Has Granted Nearly as Many Ethics Waivers as Trump Did in Four Years\">stopped collecting data<\/a> in that year. The true number of black patents, one subsequent study <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brookings.edu\/articles\/the-black-innovators-who-elevated-the-united-states-reassessing-the-golden-age-of-invention\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">found<\/a>, might be as much as 70 times greater than Cook\u2019s figure, effectively debunking the study\u2019s premise.<\/p>\n<p>Cook also seems to have consistently inflated her own credentials. In 2022, investigative journalist Christopher Brunet pointed out that, despite billing herself as a macroeconomist, Cook had <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/01\/20\/bidens-fed-nominee-lisa-cook-criticized-for-being-unqualified-embellishing-resume\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">never<\/a> published a peer-reviewed macroeconomics article and had misrepresented her publication history in her CV, claiming that she had published an article in the journal <i>American Economic Review<\/i>. In truth, the article was published in <i>American Economic Review Papers and Proceedings<\/i>, a less prestigious, non-peer-reviewed magazine.<\/p>\n<p>An exclusive <i>City Journal<\/i> and <i>Daily Wire<\/i> investigation reveals additional facts that cast new doubt on Cook\u2019s seriousness as a scholar.<\/p>\n<p>In a series of academic papers spanning more than a decade, Cook appears to have copied language from other scholars without proper quotation and duplicated her own work and that of coauthors in multiple academic journals without proper attribution. Both practices appear to violate Michigan State University\u2019s own written <a href=\"https:\/\/ombud.msu.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/content\/Plagiarism-What-is-it.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">academic<\/a> standards.<\/p>\n<p>We will review several examples which, taken together, establish a pattern of careless scholarship at best or, at worst, academic misconduct.<\/p>\n<p>In a 2021 paper titled \u201cThe Antebellum Roots of Distinctively Black Names,\u201d Cook copied-and-pasted verbatim language from Charles Calomiris and Jonathan Pritchett, without using quotation marks when describing their findings, as required. Here is the original <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nber.org\/system\/files\/working_papers\/w19625\/w19625.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">passage<\/a> from Calomiris and Pritchett:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>During this time, New Orleans was the largest city in the South and the site of its largest slave market.

But this paper simply duplicates word-for-word much of Logan and Parman\u2019s prior work without Cook. For example, the year prior, Logan and Parman published an original <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/journals\/journal-of-economic-history\/article\/national-rise-in-residential-segregation\/C6CDA8CE8E2A0F2523EAE4C7BACB8E2A\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">paper<\/a>, with the following language:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The 1880 census comes after the Civil War and before the nation moved to Jim Crow. For example, at the time of the 1880 census, the Civil Rights Act of 1875, which guaranteed equal protection in public accommodation, was still in place although not necessarily enforced. The 1940 census, however, depicts residential patterns after the rise of Jim Crow, the Great Migration, and the influx of European immigrants. Importantly, the 1940 census comes largely before the rise of significant suburbanization seen in the post-war years. It is this period from the late-nineteenth century to 1940 that Cutler, Glaeser and Vigdor (1999) cite as the rise of the American ghetto. While urban segregation as measured by isolation and dissimilarity was generally rising, the segregation patterns across cities tended to persist over time, with the most segregated cities at the turn of the century also being the most segregated cities at the end of the century. The complete census returns for 1880 and 1940 allow us to see whether our neighbor-based segregation index shows a similar rise in urban segregation and whether a comparable change in segregation occurred in rural areas.<\/p>\n[ . . . ]\n<p>Table 3\u00a0shows the variation in our neighbor-based segregation index by census region in both 1880 and 1940.

The effect of segregation could lead to more racial violence or less. The direction of the effect depends on how whites view the potential outcomes of black political advancement. Most narrative histories suggest that whites held great apprehension of black political advances irrespective of their interaction with blacks. At the same time, whether segregation mediated or enhanced any of those sentiments is unknown, particularly because rural segregation has not received sustained attention in the literature. [ . . . ]\n<p>The Logan-Parman measure is an intuitive approach to residential segregation. They assert that the location of households in adjacent units can be used to measure the degree of integration or segregation in a community, similar to Schelling\u2019s (1971) classic model of household alignment. Areas that are well integrated will have a greater likelihood of opposite race neighbors that corresponds to the underlying racial proportion of households in the area. The opposite is also true\u2014segregated areas will have a lower likelihood of opposite race neighbors than the racial proportions would predict. The measure relies on the individual-level data available in federal census records. With the 100% sample of the federal census available through the Minnesota Population Center\u2019s Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS), it is possible to identify the races of next-door neighbors. Census enumerators went door to door to record households, meaning that next-door neighbors are adjacent to one another on the census manuscript page. The number of black households with white neighbors in a county can therefore be calculated by looking at the order and races of all household heads on the census manuscript pages. The measure is based on comparing this number of black households in a community with white neighbors to the number expected under complete integration and under complete segregation.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>And here is a passage from the second paper, with verbatim language in italics.

It is true that journalists, for example, often adapt previous reporting into a compilation or a book. But the standard in academia is more rigorous. According to the Michigan State University guidebook, republishing identical material across multiple journals, without proper attribution, appears to be a violation of the rule against \u201cself-plagiarism.\u201d The standard is that scholars cannot use copied language \u201cregardless of whether [they] are or are not the author of the source of the copied text or idea.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What should the consequences be for this kind of academic misconduct? At Michigan State, administrators have warned students that \u201cplagiarism is considered fraud and has potentially harsh consequences including loss of job, loss of reputation, and the assignation of reduced or failing grade in a course.\u201d Certainly, for an esteemed professor and now a governor of the Federal Reserve, that standard should be the bare minimum.<\/p>\n<p>Cook is no stranger to mobilizing such punishments against others. In 2020, she participated in the attempted defenestration of esteemed University of Chicago economist Harald Uhlig for the crime of publicly <a href=\"https:\/\/cei.org\/blog\/lisa-cooks-first-amendment-problem-should-concern-senators\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">opposing<\/a> the \u201cdefund the police\u201d movement.
