This dissertation develops and employs quantitative methods to causally answer three empirically motivated questions. Chapter 1 investigates how appointing a female professor through affirmative action affects universities' hiring decisions and gender attitudes. Chapter 2 examines the impact of restricted access to scientific knowledge on the production and dissemination of new research, leveraging the quasi-natural experiment created by the rise of Sci-Hub. Chapter 3 evaluates how media coverage of corruption scandals affects the behavior of public healthcare workers.
