• The impact of obesity on employment (2007, methodology): “Harper (2000) used a later (1991) round of the NCDS to estimate the impact of obesity, plus general physical appearance, attractiveness and height at age 23 years on unemployment at age 33 years also using a logit model.”
• Does Size Matter in Australia (2010, background): “Studies on height and wages have found a positive relationship in Brazil (Thomas & Strauss, 1997), the UK (Harper, 2000; Case & Paxson, 2008; Case et al., 2009), and the USA (Loh, 1993; Persico et al., 2004; Case & Paxson, 2008).”
• The Labor Market Return to an Attractive Face: Evidence from a Field Experiment (2012, background): “In contrast to Hammermesh and Biddle (1994), Harper (2000) finds some evidence for occupation-specific effects, which may be attributed to either occupation-specific discrimination or to productivity effects (i.e., larger penalties are found for unattractive women working in clerical occupations).”
• Beauty is the Promise of Happiness? (2011, neutral): “A negative denotes that beauty is assessed after the respondent answers question(s) about his/her satisfaction/happiness; and the widths of the bars are in proportion to the square root of the number of people rating the subject’s beauty.”
• Cross-Cultural Variation in Mate Preferences for Averageness, Symmetry, Body Size, and Masculinity (2013, background): “Physical traits can also provide information about mate-relevant economic or social factors, such as income or hunting ability (Escasa, Gray, & Patton, 2010; Harper, 2000).”
• Unexplored dimensions of discrimination in Europe: homosexuality and physical appearance (2015, neutral): “[59] Harper, B.”

• Erotic Capital: The Power of Attraction in the Boardroom and the Bedroom (2011, background): “In Britain, for example, Harper (2000) found substantial earning supplements for people who are tall and/or attractive, and pay penalties for obese women, with larger effects than in the North American studies.”
• Exploring the depilation norm: a qualitative questionnaire study of women's body hair removal (2004, background): “…has been linked to various positive outcomes, both socially (e.g., Langlois et al ., 2000; Reis et al ., 1980) and in the workplace (e.g., Harper, 2000; Pfann et al ., 2000, and see also Wolf, 1991), such that, in general, it is argued that ‘the more physically attractive an individual…”
