Age, Women, and Hiring
通过实地实验发现，在入门级岗位招聘中，年轻女性获得面试机会的概率比年长女性高出40%以上，且证据不支持偏好型歧视，但部分支持统计性歧视。
Abstract As baby boomers reach retirement age, demographic pressures on public programs may cause policy makers to cut benefits and encourage employment at later ages. But how much demand exists for older workers? This paper reports on a field experiment to determine hiring conditions for older women in entry-level jobs in two cities. A younger worker is more than 40 percent more likely to be offered an interview than is an older worker. No evidence is found to support taste-based discrimination as a reason for this differential, and some suggestive evidence is found to support statistical discrimination.
