The Burden of Caste on Social Identity in India
TL;DR: This paper used the World Values Survey to investigate the determinants of perceived social status in India and found that Caste is still the largest determinant, yet not the only one, as income, education, and occupation are all relevant factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Social Responsibility in Capital Markets: A Review and Framework of Theory and Empirical Evidence
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consolidate the existing body of knowledge on the theory and empirical evidence of shareholder value effects of social responsibility and the returns to socially responsible investing and propose a framework that distinguishes between the corporate view (CSR) and the investor view (SRI).
Journal ArticleDOI
What Prevents Female Executives from Reaching the Top
TL;DR: This article found that female executives are about one-half as likely to become large-company CEOs and about one third less likely to be high earners than male executives in their forties.

The emergence of intangible capital : human, social, and intellectual capital in nineteenth century British, French, and German economic thought
TL;DR: Turunen et al. as mentioned in this paper focused on the conceptual equivalents of these ideas in 19th century English, French, and German economic thought in order to show that most of the phenomena now connected to human capital, intangible capital, intellectual capital, and social capital were already extensively discussed as capital in different phases of the long 18th century (1789-1914).

The Measure and Mismeasure of Fairness: A Critical Review of Fair Machine Learning.
Sam Corbett-Davies,Sharad Goel +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that it is often preferable to treat similarly risky people similarly, based on the most statistically accurate estimates of risk that one can produce, rather than requiring that algorithms satisfy popular mathematical formalizations of fairness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Racial Discrimination in the Sharing Economy: Evidence from a Field Experiment
TL;DR: This paper found that applicants with distinctively African-American names are 16% less likely to be accepted relative to identical hosts with White names on the same platform. But, their results suggest that only a subset of hosts discriminate.

Anja Lambrecht,Catherine Tucker +1 more
TL;DR: The authors explored data from a field test of how an algorithm delivered ads promoting job opportunities in the science, technology, engineering, and math fields, which was explicitly intended to be gender neutral.
