A recent paper (press release here) in the Quarterly Journal of Economics provides a very interesting analysis of the implementation of a pre-employment assessment program. Highlights include findings that the use of formal assessment in a selection process led to increases in productivity and job tenure with no change in the selection ratio between majority-minority job candidates. Some of the analyses are rather technical but the piece provides an enlightening alternative perspective on how economists analyze data related to selection.

Excellent! Thanks for that. We have recently began collecting and sifting through similar studies. I'll be sure to list your post on my blog.
