Technical appendix: The demand for teacher characteristics in the market for child care: Evidence from a field experiment

Description:
This online technical appendix provides additional information regarding the design and implementation of the resume audit study intended to examine teacher hiring practices in the center-based child care market. This document begins by summarizing the timeline and data collected in the study. The second section describes the procedures for generating the resumes; this includes summarizing the sections on each resume, describing random assignment of the resume characteristics, and detailing the steps involved in readying the resumes for submission. The third section summarizes the process of generating the set of characteristics for each section of the resume. In particular, we describe how we selected the bank of names, schools, and mailing addresses to assign to resumes; we additionally discuss the processes used in constructing personal statements, work histories, and skill sets. The fourth section of the paper details how resumes were handled by the Research Assistants; the fifth section discusses how provider responses to resumes were recorded. Finally, the last section of the appendix specifies data management procedures for the study. (author abstract)
