“…In these instances, reversing discrimination requires a change in the buyer's priors reinforced by sufficient investment. In practice, networking programs-such as the Learning, Information, Networking, Collaboration initiative in Texas studied by De Silva et al (2020)-may provide the conditions necessary to curtail discriminatory practices.…”

“…The estimated cost components allow me to compare outcomes across a broad range of counterfactual subcontracting policies. Additional studies on the effects of these affirmative action policies include De Silva et al (2020), who find that affirmative action programs can generate substantial savings for the government, and Marion (2011), who studies the effects of affirmative action programs on DBE utilization in California.…”

Government procurement contracts are frequently subject to policies that specify a subcontracting requirement for the utilization of historically disadvantaged firms. I study how such subcontracting policies affect procurement auctions using data from New Mexico's Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program. Theoretically, subcontracting requirements reduce prime contractors' private information on their costs by requiring them to select their subcontractors from a common pool of disadvantaged firms. This feature mitigates cost increases from using more costly subcontractors by causing prime contractors to strategically lower their markups. My estimated model reveals that New Mexico's past subcontracting requirements led to minor increases in procurement costs.
