I received an EU Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action individual grant for the EcoDisc project (2022—2024). The project took place at Aarhus University and NHH Norwegian School of Economics. It developed incentivized online experiments to evaluate preferences for and against discrimination based on gender, ethnicity, and LGBTQ+ status, notably moral-based preferences rooted in equality and merit concerns, at the UK level. Here I posted updates on the project.
Nov. 2022: start of EcoDisc.
April—June 2023: pilot experiment and presentations at NHH, AU, and CNEE workshop (Technical University of Denmark).
Aug. 2023: auxiliary experiment on estimating potential social desirability and experimenter demand effects.
Oct.—Dec 2023: main experiment for gender discrimination in the UK and presentations at CNEE workshop (Copenhagen Business School), Maastricht, NHH, and SOFI (Stockholm University).
April—June 2024: presentation at CEBI (University of Copenhagen) and University of Stavanger.
Sept.—Nov. 2024: presentation at the Nordic Conference for Behavioral and Experimental Economics (Copenhagen), PIREAU workshop (Aarhus), and CNEE workshop (Lund University).
Nov. 2024: extension experiment for ethnic, gender, and LGBTQ+ status discrimination in the UK, working paper preparation, and end of EcoDisc.
Feb.-March 2025: presentations at the University of Padova and the University of Innsbruck.
July 2025: the project’s working paper, “Discrimination Preferences,” is publicly available on SSRN and has been submitted.
