This study compares the scholarly impact of inbred entry-level law school faculty members with the scholarly impact of non-inbred entry-level law school faculty members. The sample includes 32 law schools and approximately 700 entry-level faculty members. By our measure of performance, scholarly impact as measured by citation frequency, inbred entrylevel law school faculty members do not perfor...

While studies have shown that graduates from elite universities enjoy high employment rates, they do not tell the story of how students different social class backgrounds experience hiring process. We address this question by interviewing upper-middle-class (UMC) and working- middle-class (WMC) Computer Science Ph.D. at prestigious who are applying for lucrative internships established technolo...

The hiring problem is a recent research problem, which has been introduced and studied first by Broder et al. [2] in 2008. It belongs to the category of on-line decision making under uncertainty. In such kind of research, the input is a sequence of instances and a decision must be taken for each instance depending on the instances seen so far while no information on the future is available. The...

Aesthetic innovations have become increasingly important appropriation mechanisms for firms. Since 2003, the number of design patent applications (to protect aesthetic innovations) has tripled compared to doubling in the numbers of both patent and trademark applications. However, despite the growing interest of firms in aesthetic innovations, knowledge on their determinants is limited. Work on ...

In a random search environment with two racial groups each composed of identical numbers of high and low productivity workers, …rms use an imperfect screening device (interviews) to control hiring. If inconclusive interviews lead …rms to hire majority workers but not minority workers, then the unemployment pool for majority workers is of higher average quality. This can justify the initial hiri...

On an otherwise symmetric oligopoly market with stochastic demands for heterogeneous products firms can either hire an employee or partner or buy the required labor input on the labor market. Whereas the wage of hired labor does not depend on the realization of stochastic demand, the price of bought labor input reacts positively to product demand. We first solve the market by deriving the equil...

Research on employers’ hiring discrimination is limited by the unlawfulness of such activity. Consequently, researchers have focused on the intention to hire. Instead, we rely on a virtual labour market, the Fantasy Football Premier League, where employers can freely exercise their taste for racial discrimination in terms of hiring and firing. The setting allows us to eliminate co-worker, consu...
