Affirmative action policies promote women and do not harm efficiency in the laboratory.
Science. 2012 Feb 3; 335(6068): 579-82
Balafoutas L, Sutter M
Gender differences in choosing to enter competitions are one source of unequal labor market outcomes concerning wages and promotions. Given that studying the effects of policy interventions to support women is difficult with field data because of measurement problems and potential lack of control, we evaluated, in a set of controlled laboratory experiments, four interventions: quotas, where one of two winners of a competition must be female; two variants of preferential treatment, where a fixed increment is added to women’s performance; and repetition of the competition, where a second competition takes place if no woman is among the winners. Compared with no intervention, all interventions encourage women to enter competitions more often, and performance is at least equally good, both during and after the competition.

Resolved Question: thinking about college, no clue what to do?
I’m a 25 yr old male, unemployed, my car is broke down. I’m stuck in a bad situation of living in a small town with minimal work opportunities. I’ve really had an urging to go to college lately, i think it will help me find myself and figure out where i wanna go in my life. I really do feel that I’m smart .High school was fairly easy for me, but i didn’t put much effort into it. I want to attend a campus, but I have no idea how to go about it. Should I contact the school (maybe Ohio University)? How do I go about financing all of this? Do I need to take SAT/ACTs? This is a pretty daunting task for me, none of my close family has gone to college to give me advise. I won’t be receiving any help financial from my parents (which I’m OK with). I know I should file my FASFA soon, I will get on that. I would be willing to work part time and go to class full time,… Thank You for your time and advise. Marcus
I’m thinking about possibly studying Religion as a major or minor

HEIGHT AND COGNITIVE FUNCTION AT OLDER AGES: IS HEIGHT A USEFUL SUMMARY MEASURE OF EARLY CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES?
Health Econ. 2012 Jan 10;
Guven C, Lee WS
Previous research using US data suggests that height, as a marker for early investments in health, is associated with better cognitive functioning in later life, but this association disappears once education is controlled for. Using an English cohort of men and women older than 50 years, we find that the association between height and cognitive outcomes remains significant after controlling for education suggesting that height affects cognitive functioning not simply via higher educational attainment. Furthermore, the significant association between height and cognitive function remains even after controls for early life indicators have been included. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
