Join us to hear more about the methods used to measure wage discrimination in the workplace. The presentation delves into which methods are appropriate for different situations and types of wage discrimination. The webinar covers methods that have recently been introduced into court cases based on long-established economic and econometric research.

Topics include:

• Detecting discrimination with simple methods and when those methods are appropriate
• Confounding factors and when they have to be addressed or can be omitted
• Measuring damages when many factors contribute to wage setting
• Flexible models that detect multiple aspects of discrimination
• Models that are new to the litigation setting
