Standard errors (clustered at the company level) are in parentheses. Controls include week fixed effects, resume template fixed effects, resume cover letter fixed effects, gender of an applicant, and a dummy indicating if a resume is associated with an address in a rich neighborhood. The F-statistics are F-tests for the Singapore and Malaysia effects being equal
*p < 0.10; **p < 0.05; ***p < 0.01. p values are adjusted for multiple hypothesis tests using Holm’s method (Holm 1979)
