The Gender Wage Gap: Extent, Trends, and Explanations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide new empirical evidence on the extent of and trends in the gender wage gap, using PSID microdata over the 1980-2010, which shows that women's work force interruptions and shorter hours remain significant in high skilled occupations, possibly due to compensating differentials.

Algorithmic Decision Making and the Cost of Fairness
TL;DR: This work reformulate algorithmic fairness as constrained optimization: the objective is to maximize public safety while satisfying formal fairness constraints designed to reduce racial disparities, and also to human decision makers carrying out structured decision rules.

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.

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.

Bargaining, Sorting, and the Gender Wage Gap: Quantifying the Impact of Firms on the Relative Pay of Women
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used longitudinal data on the hourly wages of Portuguese workers matched with balance sheet information for rms to show that the wages of both men and women contain rm-specic premiums that are strongly correlated with employer productivity.

A healthy weight improves life satisfaction.
TL;DR: Results suggest that unobserved confounders, measurement error, or their interplay appear to be the main source (s) of bias that eventually lead to a significant underestimation of the true effect of BMI on life satisfaction through classic regression models.

Algorithmic Discrimination in Service
Kalinda Ukanwa,Roland T. Rust +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, conditions under which algorithmic discrimination can impact long-term demand and profits were investigated, and the authors employed experiments and an agent-based model to demonstrate that algorithms can be profitable in the short-run but can erode profits in the long-run.

Are older workers ‘crowding out’ the young?: a study of the Australian transport and logistics labour market
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored a paradox in the Australian labour market namely that ageing workforces and significant skills shortages in certain sectors are juxtaposed with rising youth unemployment and found that it is not the supply of older workers, the major barrier for youth access to employment, but rather employers' recruitment practices and strategies designed to avoid the costs of training younger workers.

Birds, Birds, Birds: Co-Worker Similarity, Workplace Diversity, and Voluntary Turnover
TL;DR: In this article, the demographic composition of the workforce along the sex, nationality, education, age, and tenure dimension affects voluntary turnover in large manufacturing plants in Germany during 1975-2016.
