Belot, Michele; Bhaskar, V.; van de Ven, Jeroen – Journal of Human Resources, 2012
We analyze discrimination against less attractive people on a TV game show with high stakes. The game has a rich structure that allows us to disentangle the relationship between attractiveness and the determinants of a player's earnings. Unattractive players perform no worse than attractive ones, and are equally cooperative in the prisoner's…
