Do Job Networks Disadvantage Women?

Evidence from a Social Networks Experiment (2012, background): “…in the hiring process (Montgomery 1991; Munshi 2003).2 Theory has also suggested a potential cost to relying on social networks to address these labor market imperfections: the use of networks in job search can perpetuate inequalities across groups in the long run (Calvo-Armengol and Jackson 2004).”
Networks, Shocks, and Systemic Risk (2015, background): “For example, Calvó-Armengol, Patacchini, and Zenou (2009) study peer effect and education decisions in social networks; Calvó-Armengol and Jackson (2004) study the role of referral networks in the labor market; and Galeotti and Rogers (2013), Acemoglu, Malekian, and Ozdaglar (2013) and…”
