Because representation can be affected by policies like affirmative action, the model is suitable to analyze them. As it turns out, whether affirmative action improves or worsens the perception about disadvantaged groups is ambiguous.
For more results, feel free to have a look at the paper :).

As a result, the model can explain several stylized facts in one framework. I) the agent holds overly negative beliefs about disadvantaged groups. II) He holds overly positive beliefs about advantaged groups. III) The arrival of new disadvantaged groups improves the beliefs about the old one.

Salience is affected by how represented a given group is among a certain trait. Because representation varies across groups, salience is context depended, and so is the direction and extent of the agent’s long-run bias.

Why do people have wrong beliefs about social groups? I propose a model in which an agent learns about the average productivities of different social groups. When evaluating signals, he over- or underweights the importance of certain traits, eg education, based on how salient they appear to him.
