How does sharing salary history in a job application impact salary offered? In a randomized audit study, @AmandaYAgan, @bocowgill & @LauraKGee found that ⬆️ disclosed salaries led to ⬆️salary offers & ⬆️ perception that a candidate had more outside options.aeaweb.org/articles?id=10…

In an AEJ: Applied article from *2020*, the replication dataset consists of this readme, which states, "data is available upon request." I've been emailing the author for months, no response. The AEA's replication policy is good, but the uneven application is very frustrating.
Lovely event tonight @TuftsUniversity to honor my two fantastic colleagues @ProfYMI and Anna Hardman. So lucky to have worked alongside these two.
Excited to be visiting the @OIGInstitute @federalreserve @MinneapolisFed with @kbuzard7 & @OlgaStoddard. If you’re around let me know! Thanks to Alex Albright and @AbigailWozniak for having us.
