Is there a glass ceiling for ethnic minorities to enter leadership positions? Evidence from a field experiment with over 12,000 job applications

We conducted a field experiment to analyze if there is a glass ceiling for ethnic minorities entering leadership positions in organizations. We submitted over 12,000 job applications, to over 4,000 job advertisements, to investigate hiring discrimination against six ethnic groups for leadership positions. Drawing on implicit leadership theory, we argue that ethnic discrimination is particularly pronounced in the recruitment of leadership positions. The results confirm this hypothesis. For leadership positions, applicants with English names received 26.8% of positive responses for their job applications, while applicants with non-English names received 11.3% of positive responses. This means ethnic minorities received 57.4% fewer positive responses than applicants with English names for leadership positions despite identical resumes. For non-leadership positions, applicants with English names received 21.2% of positive responses for their job applications, while applicants with non-English names received 11.6% of positive responses. This means ethnic minorities received 45.3% fewer positive responses for non-leadership positions despite identical resumes. Ethnic discrimination for leadership positions was even more pronounced when the advertised job required customer contact. In contrast, hiring discrimination for leadership positions was not significantly influenced by whether the job advertisement emphasized individualism or learning, creativity, and innovation. Our findings provide novel evidence of a glass ceiling for ethnic minorities to enter leadership positions.     

DEPA数据安全规则解析及对中国的启示 ——基于和CPTPP/USMCA/RCEP的比对

构建数据安全规则是推进全球数字贸易治理的重要关切,中国申请加入《数字经济伙伴关系协定》(DEPA)后,需要在RTAs框架下,基于数据安全视角对DEPA 进行规则解析。采用自然语言识别法梳理DEPA数据安全规则体系,针对数据安全核心议题——跨境数据自由流动、数据存储非强制本地化、个人信息保护等,结合“特定规则”和“一般性规则”分析,通过文本比较评析DEPA和CPTTP、USMCA、RCEP等既有协定在这些议题上的覆盖范围、承诺深度的趋同和分歧。研究认为,DEPA针对跨境数据自由流动和数据存储非强制本地化所构建的规则,在推动数据流动自由化和保留自主监管空间两方面都处于中游水平; DEPA的个人信息保护覆盖范围比较广泛,特别强调数据保护可信任标志的使用。中国申请加入DEPA能够推动中国和DEPA在数据流动等议题上进一步确定和磋商,推进中国参与国际层面规则构建的进程、完善国内法律法规的有关规制,对中国申请加入CPTPP乃至其他RTAs协议的谈判都有积极作用,能够提高中国在数字贸易治理中的国际影响力。
