First, they find that high levels of past job mobility are penalized in finance and rewarded in software. The authors provide causal evidence that high mobility isn't necessarily a good thing across the board. This weights in on a debate in need of causal evidence.

The two most prevalent scenarios are that racial discrimination is dependent on gender (46.2%) and gender discrimination is dependent on race (28.8%).

We then re-examine these studies, calculating the seven discrimination ratios for each. We identify ten potentially missing patterns of discrimination that can occur when audits don’t include & examine all combinations of race & gender categories in a systematically comparative approach.

First, we conduct a meta-analysis of these 52 correspondence audits that include responses for White and Black men and women, encompassing nearly 330,000 tests for discrimination. We construct 7 discrimination ratios to create a systematically comparative analytic framework.

Yeah, depressing. From my Social Forces article on this. White job applicants from less selective university were just as likely as Black applicants from Harvard, Stanford, or Duke to get call backs.

I've been dabbling with a side project off and on about scholarly impact -> journal IFs and outliers and this constantly grabs my attention. And yes, *individual scholars* can pull a journal up by its bootstraps (lol). @victorerikray.bsky.social

Attendees of #2024APPAM who are wondering about transit options to the Metro-less National Harbor site, fear not. APPAM has a shuttle going between the Eisenhower Avenue Metro station (Alexandria) and the conference hotel.
