Abstract

The use of statistical analysis is now a standard in enforcing anti-discriminatory laws, but it is incorrect to assume that unquantifiable differences between protected and unprotected groups are always due to discrimination. Variation between the employment practices of firms may due to various unquantifiable factors such as productivity, as well as discrimination. Regression analysis and and hiring against an external benchmark are discussed.
