Primary Outcomes (Explanation) "Discrimination": I measure the frequencies with which workers of different subgroups are 'hired' and to what extent hiring is consistent with the seen signals in each treatment. "Information acquisition": I measure how many signals employers gather in each treatment and whether or not specific signal requests depend on the interaction of the treatment group and the previous signal(s). "Information processing": I measure to what extent hiring decisions are consistent with previously seen information signals between treatments. (I check and account for learning and fatigue effects by dropping observations in which decision times significantly deviate from the median.) "Discrimination": I measure the frequencies with which workers of different subgroups are 'hired' and to what extent hiring is consistent with the seen signals in each treatment. "Information acquisition": I measure how many signals employers gather in each treatment and whether or not specific signal requests depend on the interaction of the treatment group and the previous signal(s). "Information processing": I measure to what extent hiring decisions are consistent with previously seen information signals between treatments. I analyze whether results differ when looking at decisions between blacks and whites vs. between whites and hispanics vs. between asians vs. hispanics. This means, I look at whether discrimination within minority groups (asians vs. hispanics) is different than discrimination between a majority and a minority group (whites vs. blacks; whites vs. hispanics). (I check and account for learning and fatigue effects by dropping observations in which decision times significantly deviate from the median.)
