| Abstract: | The article presents the response of the authors to the issues raised by Manning et al., regarding their study "Does Age Matter? Judicial Decision Making in Age Discrimination Cases." According to the authors, Manning and his colleagues reached their conclusion based on their grouping decision. Moreover, they asserted that age should matter only in the resolution of age discrimination litigation, not in the outcomes of suits alleging discrimination based on race and gender. Manning et al. should have continued to invoke the single-variable specification of age but set their cutpoint just one year higher or lower than 45. |
