However, they also noted a significant decrease in the precision of higher molecular weight congeners, particularly BDE 209, compared with the case for on-column techniques, which are less prone to discrimination effects.
Several models of state-dependent mate choice (for a review see [ 7]) predict that high-quality females are more choosy and invest more in mate sampling, assuming that mate preference should be more beneficial for high-quality females and low-quality females have less to gain from discrimination.
The whole idea of abolishing the default retirement age was less to do with anti-discrimination than to defuse the population time bomb – to keep the elderly in work rather than drawing on pensions that have to be, in effect, funded by young workers.
MSM, who suffer extreme stigma and discrimination, have less to lose and much to gain from an approach that challenges inequitable social systems.
A higher cost of waiting (k) or a higher value of production (x) leads to less discrimination, since the cost of discriminating is waiting for the next worker to come along if a B worker is denied the job.
Anything less than equality amounts to discrimination.
Social scientists from various disciplines have claimed that the more formal and rule-driven hiring processes of larger firms should lead to less discrimination in hiring, but the various arguments both for and against this claim often refer specifically to the case of gender or race discrimination, and the empirical evidence is mixed (see, e.g., Kay and Gorman (2012., Baron et al2007)).
As mentioned above, the 'intergroup contact theory' predicts that an increase in the relative size of a (religious) minority provides contact opportunities with the minority and leads to less discrimination.
With greater pay transparency, employers would be forced to be more upfront about compensation decisions and would be far less likely to subject employees to discrimination, intentional or otherwise.
