Brief of Empirical Scholars as Amici Curiae in Support of Respondents

Abstract:

Amici curiae are leaders in the field of quantitative social science and statistical methodology. Amici submit this brief to point out the substantial methodological flaws in the “mismatch” research discussed in the Brief for Richard Sander as Amicus Curiae in Support of Petitioner. Professor Sander’s mismatch hypothesis is unsupported and based on work that fails to adhere to basic tenets of research design.
