“Do Financial Incentives Encourage Women to Apply for a Tech Job? Evidence from a Natural Field Experiment”, 2023-05-01 ():
We conduct a natural field experiment to test whether offering financial incentives encourages more female job seekers to complete their applications for a tech job. All eligible applicants for the job were invited to perform an online skill assessment. We randomized whether or not they were offered an incentive of up to $10 for completing the assessment.
We find no statistically-significant effect of the incentive for female applicants (or male applicants).
