禁止盒子（BTB）的政策规定，在招聘过程的后期才能查阅犯罪历史。然而，这些政策主要针对公共部门的雇主。该研究是第一个关注BTB改革的主要目标的研究，通过衡量BTB政策对定罪者公共就业概率的影响。为了进行分析，该研究使用了1997年全国青年纵向调查（2005-2015年）的数据和差异中的差异（DD）估计。该研究发现，BTB政策将被定罪者的公共就业概率平均提高了约30%。一些学者认为，BTB政策鼓励对年轻的低技能少数民族男性的统计歧视。该研究采用三重差异（DDD）估计来检验统计歧视，但没有发现支持这一假设的证据。(JEL J15、J71、J78、K4）。
Ban the Box (BTB) policies mandate deferred access to criminal history until later in the hiring process. However, these policies chiefly target public employers. The study is the first to focus on the primary goal of BTB reform, by measuring the impact of BTB policies on the probability of public employment for those with convictions. To execute the analyses, the study uses data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 Cohort (2005-2015) and difference-in-difference (DD) estimation. The study finds that BTB policies raise the probability of public employment for those with convictions by about 30% on average. Some scholars argue that BTB policies encourage statistical discrimination against young low-skilled minority males. The study employs triple-difference (DDD) estimation to test for statistical discrimination, but uncovers no evidence to support the hypothesis. (JEL J15, J71, J78, K4).
