Does standardization matter? Evaluating the potential of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) to foster labour market inclusion of immigrants (DISCEFRN): Stata Code Vignette study
收藏资源简介:
This file contains the programming code (Stata, Version 17) that was used to analyse the collected information of the survey experiment carried out within the DISCEFRN project (see metadata section Funding I). Within DISCEFRN, we combined web-scraped job vacancy data of the Norwegian labour market with a factorial survey experiment that exploits real-world variation in CEFR requirements within these ads (n vignette ratings= 10,495; n employers= 1,527) to examine whether fictitious applicants with a refugee background face less language-based discrimination on the individual level among employers who use standardized language requirements in their (real-world) ads compared to those that don’t. We thereby varied different applicant characteristics related to ethnic origin and to formal (CEFR certificate) and informal language indicators (e.g. spelling, argumentation, professional reference on unobservable relational skills) within vignettes and collected information on job-, firm- and employer characteristics (most notably attitudes towards different refugee groups) with standard survey items. This allowed us to assess whether CEFR requirements are primarily mitigating biased applicant evaluations that are related to language-based statistical/error discrimination (less relevance of informal language indicators), related to discrimination tastes (less relevance of group-related attitudes), or both.
