Colorism in the Rental Housing Market: Field Experimental Evidence of Discrimination by Skin Color
Descripción general
Resumen del artículo
This field experiment used data from a HUD study to investigate colorism in the rental housing market. It found that darker-skinned Black renters faced more discrimination, while lighter-skinned Hispanic renters also experienced discrimination, contrary to some previous findings. The study highlights how the race of both the renter and the housing agent can influence discriminatory practices.
