摘要

本研究旨在调查在墨西哥的招聘过程中，变性人身份信号对收到回电可能性的潜在影响。我们采用通信研究设计，向 16 个州的雇主随机发送了 512 份简历。我们只使用了女性占主导地位的行业（销售和行政）中跨性别和顺性别女性的简历。结果表明，变性求职者的申请得到的积极回应比顺性求职者少 36%。这些发现证实了现有的证据，即在招聘过程中存在对变性人的歧视性做法。

What's in a name? Evidence of transgender labor discrimination in Mexico

This study aims to investigate the potential impact of signaling a transgender identity on the likelihood of receiving a callback during a hiring process in Mexico. Employing a correspondence study design, 512 resumes were randomly sent to employers across sixteen states. We exclusively used profiles of transgender and cisgender women in women-dominated sectors: sales and administration. Results indicate that applications from transgender candidates received 36% fewer positive responses than those from cisgender candidates. These findings corroborate existing evidence of discriminatory practices in hiring processes against transgender individuals.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization is devoted to theoretical and empirical research concerning economic decision, organization and behavior and to economic change in all its aspects. Its specific purposes are to foster an improved understanding of how human cognitive, computational and informational characteristics influence the working of economic organizations and market economies and how an economy structural features lead to various types of micro and macro behavior, to changing patterns of development and to institutional evolution. Research with these purposes that explore the interrelations of economics with other disciplines such as biology, psychology, law, anthropology, sociology and mathematics is particularly welcome.
