Obesity, Attractiveness, and Differential Treatment in Hiring
通过向瑞典真实职位发送成对虚构申请（其中一张照片被处理为肥胖），发现肥胖申请者获得面试回应的概率显著更低：男性低6个百分点，女性低8个百分点，且男性结果由吸引力驱动，女性结果由肥胖本身驱动。
Abstract This study presents evidence of differential treatment in the hiring of obese individuals in the Swedish labor market. Fictitious applications were sent to real job openings. The applications were sent in pairs, where one facial photo of an otherwise identical applicant was manipulated to show the individual as obese. Applications sent with the weight-manipulated photo had a significantly lower callback response for an interview: Six percentage points lower for men and eight percentage points lower for women. This differential treatment occurs differently for men and women: The results for men are driven by attractiveness, while the results for women are driven by obesity.
