When affirmative action policies target more than one disadvantaged group, they contain uncertainty as to whether an … individual who belongs to one of these groups was actually favored. In a laboratory experiment, we study how this feature affects … identity that triggers affirmative action is made salient, affirmed individuals are wrongly perceived as less competent, both …

We investigate risk aversion as a driver of labour market discrimination against homosexual men. We show that more … hiring discrimination by more risk-averse employers is consistent with taste-based and statistical discrimination. To test … this hypothesis we conduct a scenario experiment in which experimental employers make a hiring decision concerning a …
