Gender Discrimination in Hiring Across Occupations: A Nationally-Representative Vignette Study

We would like to thank Heike Solga and Paula Protsch for their collaboration and fruitful discussions, the BIBB (Federal Institute of Vocational Education and Training) which made the study possible, and Katrin Auspurg who helped us with the vignette selection. We are grateful to Bernd Fitzenberger, Patrick Gauß, Stephan Martin, Kristina Strohmaier, and Marina Töpfer for their comments, to Thu-Ha Nguyen, Michaela Zwiebel, Sajoscha Engelhardt, and Manuela Ludwig for their assistance, and to Jennifer Rontganger for copy editing. We thank the editor and three referees for their constructive comments. Financial support from CRC TRR 190 is gratefully acknowledged. A previous version of the paper was circulated under the title “Be a Man or Become a Nurse: Comparing Gender Discrimination by Employers Across a Wide Variety of Professions.”
