Economist Elliott Ash and colleagues will examine how and the extent to which attitudes toward gender affect decision-making in the judicial system. They will address the measurement challenge by exploiting the large corpus of written text for appellate judges, arguing that text can provide important insights into human social psychology. The PIs will proxy judges’ attitudes toward gender by measuring the degree of language slant that is displayed by their writing.
