I think the thing about whether someone’s name is “ethnic” sounding having an impact on hiring has some research behind it, as well as other aspects of racial and ethnic discrimination. How much someone’s name impacts other areas of their lives, idk.
Yeah, except the exciting things in Freakonomics are pretty much just correlations. There’s no research done to see if there is any cause.
