Internet Appendix to 'Numeracy and the Quality of On-the-Job Decisions : Evidence from Loan Officers'

This supplemental appendix extends the main paper by presenting an additional analysis of a math training implemented by the bank. We do not find evidence for a significant influence of the math training on loan officers' rejection decisions and accuracy. These findings suggest that the difference in accuracy is rather related to cognitive ability than easily teachable math skills.The paper "Numeracy and the Quality of On-the-Job Decisions: Evidence from Loan Officers" to which these Appendices apply is available at the following URL: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2999687
