چکیده
This paper presents the results from a 2.3 million person field experiment that varies whether a job seeker is shown the number of applicants for a job posting on a large job posting website, LinkedIn. This intervention increases the likelihood a person will start/finish an application by 0.6%-1.9%, representing an economically significant potential increase of over a thousand applications per day. This increase is greater for female applicants. Firms in industries that are highly represented on this job posting website may be particularly interested in this low cost, light touch intervention that potentially increases the number of female

In the most application of nozzle with gas-liquid two-phase flow, the quality of mixture in exhaust of nozzle is the most important parameter as well as the flow velocity. On the other hand, in some industrial application, such as water injection in forced induction (turbocharged or supercharged) internal combustion engine the spray quality is the main goal of designing.

متن کاملDo Employers Prefer Fathers? Evidence from a Field Experiment Testing the Gender by Parenthood Interaction Effect on Callbacks to Job Applications
In research on fatherhood premiums and motherhood penalties in career-related outcomes, employers’ discriminatory behaviours are often argued to constitute a possible explanation for observed gender gaps. However, there is as yet no conclusive evidence of such discrimination. Utilizing a field experiment design, we test (i) whether job applicants are subject to recruitment discrimination on the...
متن کاملManures behave similar to superphosphate in phosphorus accumulation in long-term field soils
Repeated application of manures to agricultural soils could cause the accumulation of phosphorus (P) in soils. However, it is unclear if manure P can behave similar to P in soluble fertilizers in accumulation Olsen-P (0.5 mol L-1 NaHCO3 at pH 8.5) in soils. A long-term wheat-maize rotation experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of repeated application of manures on P accumulation i...
