Description:
Economic analysis of statistical discrimination and prejudice has been limited to the subjects of economic theories, consisting of ordinary people who make decisions with less than complete information. We consider here the statistical theorists themselves as we demonstrate how the prejudices of Francis Galton and Karl Pearson influenced their statistical analysis of populations that included Jews. We examine Galton's composite photographs of Jews and Pearson's analysis of the characteristics of Jewish immigrants to Britain.
