Well, all of this depends on the stats in question.
Using RQ as a base, elves were slighter and not as strong as humans, while dwarves lack size and dexterity.
So their edges were balanced out well enough against humans.
It also depends greatly on your game. If we are talking about a dungeon-hack, then combat strength is the balancing factor.. if we're talking about something else, then it gets more nebulous.
