Question

Suppose employers care about overall productivity Z, which is made up of two components, X and Y, such that Z=X+Y (and employers know this productivity function). Suppose there are two groups (male and female) whose average Zs are the same (i.e. Z_M =Z_F), but X_M < X_F and Y_M > Y_F (and again, employers know these population averages). (Averages are given by bold font.) Researchers decide to run a resume-based audit study where they randomize names based on gender (using typically male or female names) but hold constant Y. They provide no information on X. Which of the following results would provide suggestive evidence of statistical discrimination?

A. The call-back rate is the same for both sexes.
B. We can't use differences in call-back rates to find evidence of statistical discrimination.
C. The call-back rate is higher for women than for men.
D. The call-back rate is higher for men than for women.
