Can an employer’s concern for their employees’ well-being lead to a form of discrimination?

@NinaBuchmann6 (@YaleEGC), Carl Meyer (@StanfordEcon) & @ColinD_Sullivan (@PittEcon) on paternalistic discrimination:

Amazing praise for my fantastic coauthor @NinaBuchmann6! Check out our paper on paternalistic discrimination (with Carl Meyer) here:

A week ago, I saw one of the most perfect economics presentations in my academic life, by Stanford's @NinaBuchmann6. "Paternalistic discrimination", when women are discriminated against not because of taste or statistics, but because someone cares about their security (https://t.co/Wrxv5rUi8t), is not close to my field, and neither are the controlled experiments, but it was an excellent presentation is a room filled by contrarian stars of the profession.

Had the pleasure of reading and discussing the job market paper by @NinaBuchmann6 and co-authors for the @EcScienceAssoc job market seminar series!

Why market design? I get to work w/ real-life superheroes: docs, nurses, organ donors- and be part of their work. #LiverExchange is live!! Who is next? I’m ready when you are.. @econD47 @VMDSeminar @ASTSChimera @AST_info @ttsorg @Transpl_Int @amjtransplant @ATCMeeting @SIEPR

A 🧵about "The Gender Gap in Self-Promotion," my paper with @christine_exley that is coming out in the #QJE.

We give subjects a math and science test. First, they guess their score. We then ask them subjective questions about how well they think they did on the test.

1/n

[Colin @ColinD_Sullivan]

Results: Patients discriminate against Black and Asian doctors, but the gap is almost entirely explained statistical discrimination with inaccurate beliefs. 4/4

[Colin @ColinD_Sullivan]

Do patients discriminate against doctors on the basis of race and gender? #EconTwitter check out this exciting new field experiment from @alex8chan! 1/4

[Colin @ColinD_Sullivan]

Similar to my work with @juddkessler and @femonomics, but with two improvements: matches are validated with real appointments, and a treatment with doc quality identifies statistical discrimination. 3/4
