The Reverse Gender Gap in Ethnic Discrimination
We examine differences in the intensity of employer stereotypes of men and women with Arabic names in Sweden by testing how much work experience is needed to eliminate the disadvantage of having an Arabic name on job applications.

The results indicate a rev…
