Funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), it aims to analyze and provide policy proposals that address three key societal challenges: how to promote equality of opportunity; how to regulate markets in light of the internationalization and digitalization of economic activity; and how to safeguard the stability of the financial system.
Map
Evaluation, of job candidates for example, often takes place in a sequence. In this video, JONAS RADBRUCH investigates how this sequential process influences outcomes. Studying data from an admissions as well as a hiring process, the work demonstrates that the immediately preceding candidate in a sequence has a very striking influence on the chances of success for the person that follows. The research calls for more work to explore how we can reduce bias in this and similar situations where sequences have a central part to play in the decision making process.
