Publishing a null result paper is never easy, so Iโ€™m grateful the editor and referees recognized its contributions. Iโ€™m also honored to have this work included in the EER special issue in memory of Nora Szech. Though I never had the pleasure of meeting her, I deeply admire her impact on the field.

In online experiments, we study how employers' demand for Affirmative Action (AA) varies with perceived gender differences in productivity, perceived effects of AA on productivity, or other costs of AA.

A substantial proportion of individuals (higher among those with more conservative views) are hesitant to share their views on polarizing subjects, fearing social backlash, study by @juansemorales.bsky.social and @msamahita.bsky.social suggests:
