%X This article examines how firms respond to federal affirmative action regulation when it is temporary. As intended, affirmative action increases a firm¡¯s black share of employees. Strikingly, the black share continues to grow at a similar pace even after a firm is deregulated. This persistence is driven in part by affirmative action inducing employers to improve their methods for screening potential hires
