Abstract
Extant work shows that actors who span multiple social categories are devalued relative to their more specialized peers. Two reasons have been proffered: 1) category spanners are of lower-quality or, 2) category spanners are difficult to understand and therefore ignored. It has been challenging for extant work to disentangle these two. This paper tackles this issue by employing a natural experiment on a peer-to-peer lending website. Difference in difference analyses show that, regardless of underlying ability or quality, perceptions of category spanning can result in devaluation.
