Evaluations play a crucial role in determining resource allocation in markets. Through three empirical studies, this dissertation investigates this topic by focusing on how evaluations affect the outcomes of organizations and individuals and, furthermore, contribute to inequality among them.The first study examines the conditions under which a fall in rankings affects organizational outcomes. Using the Fortune 500 ranking as an empirical setting, the study finds that a fall in rankings is associated with negative stock market reactions but that this negative association is strengthened under three conditions: less alternative information, lower audience sophistication, and if the firm falls off the Fortune 500 list due to the fall in rank. Overall, this study develops an informational theory of rankings and illuminates their contingent effects on organizational outcomes.The second study examines bias and stereotypes that occur during evaluation processes within organizations. It asks why East Asian Americans are underrepresented in corporate leadership positions, despite their high socioeconomic status and stereotypes of being highly competent. The key argument is that a stereotype that East Asian Americans lack creativity is an important mechanism underlying their underrepresentation. Two experiments consistently showed that evaluators are less likely to select East Asian American candidates for corporate leadership positions because they perceive them to be less creative than White candidates. This study suggests that even socioeconomically successful demographic groups might face negative stereotypes that impede their status attainment in organizations.The third study examines the effects of certifications on racial discrimination and inequality on digital platforms. This study predicts that certifications on digital platforms tend to benefit White sellers more than Black sellers because they carry ambiguous meanings to buyers. Thus, reducing ambiguity in certifications can make it provide more equal benefits to Black and White sellers. Evidence for these arguments is provided using observational data from Airbnb listings and an experiment with Airbnb users. This study has implications for understanding racial inequality and the design of certifications.The final chapter discusses implications, limitations, and future research avenues.
