The intersection of sex and race in the presence of deep-level attributes
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the mechanisms by which decisions about others are affected by the information known about them. The authors argue that the availability of information about deep-level attributes diminishes the role of surface-level attributes in how people make decisions about others. The authors posit that individuals will make discriminatory decisions based on surface-level attributes when only this informatio…
Computerization and Skill Bifurcation
Does computerization increase or reduce the extent of skills that workers are required to have? The authors argue that the effects of computer-based technologies (CBT) are neither universal nor uniform.

Preferences in a Communal Economic System
A voluntary communal economic system differs from most types of economic organizations in that its members prefer to carry out certain activities collecti vely, and significant production and consumption activities take plac e within it.

The mo del is employed to evaluate the source of changes in consumption of I sraeli kibbutzim…
