采用审计方法，通过匹配求职申请测试雇佣中的性别与种族歧视，发现女性、希腊裔和越南裔申请人受到歧视，并提出了改进实验设计的建议。
Barbara Bergmann has advocated direct observation of market behavior by economists. There is a history of such activity in the area of labor market but that experimental work has mainly been conducted by noneconomists. We have followed the lead of these researchers and conducted audits of employment hiring behavior, testing for discrimination on the basis of gender and sex. The technique involves sending matched pairs of job applications. Discrimination was found against female, Greek, and Vietnamese applicants. The paper recommends improvements in experimental design for future audits.
