- A hiring manager applying gender stereotypes, a clinician applying age-based diagnostic anchors, a recommendation system applying demographic profiles, and a police officer applying neighborhood-based threat assessments all perform the same structural operation: they allow category membership to trigger and dominate individual assessment, as Bertrand and Mullainathan (2004) demonstrated in their canonical correspondence-audit study of labor-market discrimination.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This work's DOI is recorded above but has not been resolved against an external catalogue, so nothing here confirms the work exists.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
