摘要：
We show that widely-used subjective assessments of employee "potential" contributes to gender gaps in promotion and pay. Using data on management-track employees from a large retail chain, we find that women receive substantially lower potential ratings despite receiving higher job performance ratings. Differences in potential ratings account for 30-50% of the gender promotion gap. Women's lower potential ratings do not appear to be based on accurate forecasts of future performance: women outperform male colleagues with the same potential ratings, both on average and conditional on promotion. Yet, even in these cases, women's subsequent potential ratings remain low, suggesting that firms persistently underestimate the potential of female employees.

摘要：
How to improve tax compliance has become a major issue concerned by tax authorities and economic research as well as public policy. We design three natural field experiments to study different dimensions of tax compliance from the perspective of information intervention. The main results show that information intervention plays a significant role in improving tax compliance, demonstrating the potential importance of such interventions in increasing tax compliance.
