Abstract
A unique data set from a research faculty search at an R1 doctoral university in the United States finds statistically significant anti-Asian and home (in-state) bias. The data is from applicants’ CVs and interview decisions for a tenure-track economics, finance, or quantitative methods assistant or associate professor search conducted by a public university in 2022. Non-Asian applicants were over four times more likely to obtain final-round interviews than Asian applicants after controlling for other factors. In-state applicants were over six times more likely to get interviews than out-of-state applicants.
Keywords: interview, hiring, higher education, research, faculty, bias, discrimination, hiring, Asian, in-state, home, race, finance, economics, Civil Rights Act of 1964
