Migration and sources of discrimination in a social context
This paper considers two types of statistical discrimination: individual (productivity) and compo- sitional (team fit). We conduct a large-scale correspondence study in 15 Latin American countries in the context of sports to test their influence on individual behavior. We send over 10,000 applications to male amateur soccer clubs and ask them to participate in a practice session. Each club receives one application, randomly varying the applicant’…

How to reduce discrimination? Evidence from a field experiment in amateur soccer
A rich literature shows that ethnic discrimination is an omnipresent and highly persistent phenomenon. Little is known, however, about how to reduce discrimination. This study reports the results of a large-scale field experiment we ran together with the Norwegian Football Federation. The federation sent an email to a random selection of about 500 amateur soccer coaches, pointing towards the important role that soccer can play in promoting inclus…
(Not) being granted the right to belong-Amateur football clubs in Germany
Empirical studies show that first- and second-generation immigrants are less likely to be members of sports clubs than their non-immigrant peers.

Are minority ethnic groups granted the same right to belong as their non-immigrant peers? To answer this question, this…
Mapping discrimination in Europe through a field experiment in amateur sport
Societies are increasingly multicultural and diverse, consisting of members who migrated from various other countries. However, immigrants and ethnic minorities often face discrimination in the form of fewer opportunities for labor and housing, as well as limitations on interactions in other social domains. Using mock email accounts with typical native-sounding and foreign-sounding names, we contacted 23,020 amateur football clubs in 22 European …
Race and Employment
This study analyzes how the number of Black coaches in college basketball has evolved since 1947. The analysis puts a focus on the time period after 1973 when regulatory requirements changed and a new Division was established. The change in the number of Divisions created distorted conditions and led to a significant difference in the number of Black coaches within Divisions. We trace a significantly lower number of Black coaches in Division 3 wh…

Methods The analysis uses “Google Trends” and “MERIT” appraisals to capture content and news articles o…
