Absolute inequality also fell over ...

Eight different European Union member countries and counting have policies that prevent residents from wearing the hijab, burqa, or niqab in public spaces. The practice of veiling itself has unique implications as a commitment mechanism and socioeconomic signal (Carvahlo, 2013), which suggest that anti-veiling legislation would decrease social integration between religious groups. I study the impacts ...

Following the ego depletion task, participants can anonymously buy hot drinks on credit. We find no significant average effects, but find that treated individuals that have low financial literacy are more likely ...
