By developing state-of-the-art experimental and behavioural methodologies to study biased belief formation, this project aims to improve our understanding of the factors contributing to diversity gaps in labour market outcomes in Australia. The project investigates biases in the beliefs formed about the performance of women and minorities, and how these biases can be reduced through policy interventions and improved organisational structures. Expected outcomes include informing policy makers of appropriate interventions and expanding scholarly knowledge of the economic impact of discrimination. The insights gained will enhance Australia’s economic performance by improving workplace diversity and dynamics.

通过开发最先进的实验和行为方法来研究有偏见的信念形成，该项目旨在提高我们对澳大利亚劳动力市场结果中造成多样性差距的因素的理解。该项目调查了对妇女和少数民族表现形成的信念中的偏见，以及如何通过政策干预和改善组织结构来减少这些偏见。预期成果包括向决策者通报适当的干预措施，扩大关于歧视的经济影响的学术知识。所获得的见解将通过改善工作场所的多样性和活力来提高澳大利亚的经济表现。
