NEWS. I will edit a special issue on hiring discrimination for the International Journal of Manpower. One can find the call for papers here.
Register of correspondence experiments on hiring discrimination since 2005
See my chapter in 'Audit Studies: Behind the Scenes with Theory, Method, and Nuance' (edited by S. Michael Gaddis and published by Springer) on the original register for more information concerning its the construction. A discussion paper version of this chapter can be downloaded here.
Links to additional experiments to be included can be sent to Stijn.Baert@UGent.be.
