A new study co-authored by Professor Brian Rubineau shows that while the popular practice of network hiring can introduce gender diversity in lower-level jobs, it actually fails to do so at the executive level.

“Network recruitment is not the only process contributing to the glass ceiling, but by working to reduce the processes that contribute to the glass ceiling, we can help promote more equitable workplaces,” says Prof. Rubineau.

This article studies the impact of shopping at the warehouse club format on households' packaged food-for-home purchases. In addition to low prices, this format has several unique characteristics that can influence packaged food purchases. The empirical analysis uses a combination of households' longitudinal grocery purchase information, rich survey data, and detailed item-level nutrition information. After accounting for selection on observables and unobservables, the authors find a substantial increase in the total quantity (servings per capita) of purchases attributable to shopping at this format. Because there is no effect on quality of purchases, this translates into a substantial increase in calories, sugar, and saturated fat per capita. The increase comes primarily from storable and impulse foods and it is drawn equally from foods that have positive and negative health halos. The results have important implications for how marketers can create win–win opportunities for themselves and for consumers.
