我们使用野村综合研究所2000年进行的调查数据，并补充了2000年8月当前人口调查的数据，研究了计算机拥有率和互联网使用率的种族和民族差异。我们专注于网上购物，因为很少有研究探讨电子商务中的种族和民族差异。结果表明，黑人和西班牙裔人拥有或使用电脑的可能性低于非西班牙裔白人，但不太可能在网上购物，甚至，无论电脑所有权。事实上，黑人似乎更频繁地在网上购物，在家庭互联网用户中，比非西班牙裔白人花费更多。
We examine racial and ethnic differences in computer ownership and Internet usage using data from a survey conducted by the Nomura Research Institute in 2000, supplemented with data from the August 2000 Current Population Survey. We focus on online shopping because few studies have examined racial and ethnic differences in ecommerce. The results indicate that Blacks and Hispanics are less likely to own or use a computer than non-Hispanics whites but are not less likely to shop online, even, regardless of computer ownership. Indeed, Blacks appear to shop online more frequently, and among home Internet users, to spend more than non-Hispanic whites.
