【摘要】In many settings, affirmative action policies apply simultaneously at two levels, for instance, at university and its departments. We show that commonly used methods in reserving positions for beneficiaries of affirmative action often need to be revised in such settings. We present a comprehensive evaluation of existing procedures to document their shortcomings. We propose a new solution with appealing theoretical properties and quantify the benefits of adopting it using recruitment advertisement data from India.
