- Authors
Jacobs, Rick; Murphy, Kevin; Silva, Jay
- Abstract
The article presents a study on the potential adverse impacts of the enforcement policies of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the federal organization which enforces the U.S. Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and 1991. Topics include the role of sample size in determining the statistical significance when measuring adverse impact; the effects of anti-discrimination policies in employment; and the use of Monte Carlo studies to assess group differences in EEO litigation.
