Assistant Econ Prof @ USNA. Research areas: market design, incomplete information matching, and a little bit of auctions work. Opinions are my own. If you want to invite me to give a talk, I'd love to come give one! https://sites.google.com/view/naomiutgof
(If you saw me present "Relational College Admissions via the Old Boys' Club" at a conference, this is the same paper. If you would like to coauthor on a paper doing structural estimation of this model, please be in touch!)

This result is (to my knowledge) the first new theoretical discrimination channel in 50 years, distinct from taste-based bias (favoring members of certain groups over others) and statistical discrimination (interpreting individual performance based on known group attributes).

Attitudes towards the use of market design may improve with experience. USN physicians expressed hesitation towards the use of deferred acceptance (DA) in billet assignment, but those who participated in a DA experiment subsequently reported favorable attitudes towards continuing the use of DA.
