The time course of selective visual attention: theory and experiments
Historically, the psychophysical evidence for "selective attention" originated mainly from visual search experiments. A first important distinction in the processing of information in visual search tasks is its separation in two stages. The first, early "preattentive" stage operates in parallel across the entire visual field extracting single "primitive features" without integrating them. The s...
متن کاملIdentifying Discrimination at Work: The Use of Field Experiments.
Antidiscrimination law offers protection to workers who have been treated unfairly on the basis of their race, gender, religion, or national origin. In order for these protections to be invoked, however, potential plaintiffs must be aware of and able to document discriminatory treatment. Given the subtlety of contemporary forms of discrimination, it is often difficult to identify discrimination...

Significant, persistent and pervasive levels of discrimination have been found against nonwhites and women in labour, housing and product markets.

متن کاملThe Use of Field Experiments to Study Mechanisms of Discrimination
This paper discusses social mechanisms of discrimination and reviews existing field experimental designs for their identification. We first explicate two social mechanisms proposed in the literature, animus-driven and statistical discrimination, to explain differential treatment based on ascriptive characteristics. We then present common approaches to study discrimination based on observational...
متن کاملThe Role of Theory in Field Experiments
W hen it comes to the role of theory in their research, empirical microeconomists are torn. On the one hand, we devote a large fraction of our graduate instruction to models of consumer behavior and fi rm decision making, and to the interactions that determine market equilibrium. On the other hand, it is not always obvious how these theories are relevant to empirical research. Outside the acade...
