Abstract
⺠Anonymous job applications may reduce the well-documented discrimination in hiring. ⺠A randomized experiment with fresh Ph.D. economists sheds light on their potential. ⺠Anonymous job applications do not lead to a different interview invitation probability. ⺠The underrepresented gender is hurt by anonymous application procedures. ⺠Certain professional signals appear to be weighted differently after anonymization.
