Is there ethnic discrimination in Roma children’s access to sports clubs in Hungary? Evidence from field experiments in basketball, volleyball, and soccer
In this paper, we examine children’s ethnic discrimination in access to sport. We conducted two field experiments to test whether Roma applicants get greater rejection rates when applying to sport clubs and whether this rate is higher in case Roma applicants have a lower-class background. Basketball, volleyball, and soccer coaches were contacted by e-mail using Roma and non-Roma sounding names, requesting to participate in a trial practice. Previ…
Values, Attitudes and the Behaviour Paradigm: A Systematic Literature Review
Values, which serve as fundamental motivators for attitudes and behaviours, have been extensively studied in social sciences. Scholars, beginning with Allport and Rokeach, have developed various theories and conducted empirical research to examine values as independent variables and their connections to other concepts. This article provides a comprehensive review of empirical studies utilizing Schwartz’s value model and corresponding measurement …
Housing Commodification and Increasing Potential Ground Rents in Post‐Socialist Budapest
In post‐socialist Budapest, gentrification has remained modest for decades after the regime change (1989) due to politically controlled economic relations besides marketisation. Political control was transformed but maintained after 2010 in the illiberal Orbán regime. Populist housing privatisation for tenants, insufficient regulation of rental housing, mortgage policy and urban rehabilitations with systemic corruption caused moderate level of ho…
Migration potential from Iran: A cluster analysis of the main departure drivers
Exploring the reasons behind people's migration decisions has always been a core topic of migration studies. However, there is little scientific information on Iranian citizens' migration plans; therefore, this study aims to fill this research gap. Our goal is to explore the main factors that push people to leave Iran, their reasons for seeking a new life abroad, their anticipations about their journey from Iran to the destination countries, and …
Personally, I feel sorry, but professionally, I don't have a choice.”1 Understanding the drivers of anti-Roma discrimination on the rental housing market
The aim of our study is to assess the drivers of discriminatory behaviors of real-estate agents and private landlords toward prospective Roma tenants, relying on qualitative data from Hungary. Though there is a broad literature on the forms and frequency of discrimination, we know much less about the question of why people discriminate . Previous research suggests that discrimination on the basis of ethnicity is widespread in Hungary. To understa…
Back to “normal: The short-lived impact of an online NGO campaign of government discrimination in Hungary
To what extent can civil rights NGOs protect ethnic minorities against unequal treatment? We study this question by combining an audit experiment of 1260 local governments in Hungary with an intervention conducted in collaboration with a major Hungarian civil rights NGO. In the audit experiment we demonstrated that Roma individuals were about 13 percent-points less likely to receive responses to information requests from local governments, and th…
Hivatali diszkrimináció: Egy online terepkísérlet eredményei
2020 elején a magyarországi helyi önkormányzati hivatalok körében kontrollált terepkísérletet végeztünk annak céljából, hogy feltárjuk az online ügyintézés során esetlegesen előforduló hivatali diszkrimináció nyílt és burkolt formáit. Összesen 1270 e-mailben egy hétköznapi ügyintézéssel kapcsolatban fogalmaztunk meg egyszerű kérdéseket magas és alacsony státuszú roma és nem roma ügyfelek „bőrébe bújva”. A nemzetközi eredményekkel összhangban a vá…
Exploring the Migration Process of Iranian Asylum Seekers in Europe: A Case of Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina
Understanding the irregular migrants’ motivations for leaving their country of origin and their experiences in the host country have always been seen as an important topic in the field of migration studies. However, there is currently a gap in the literature on this subject area especially in the case of Iranian asylum seekers in Europe. Therefore, the current paper serves as a preliminary study for more comprehensive research that explores the m…
Network capital and migration potential
The specialty of our paper, based on the Hungarian survey of ISSP 2017 is that (1) we only focus on a single (the planning) phase of the migration process, (2) we use the concept of network capital, which fits the strategic features of the migration potential phenomenon, (3) we estimate the impact of the size of Ego’s network and that of the respondents’ strong and weak ties on the migration potential separately, and (4) within the strong ties we…
Discrimination in the sharing economy: Evidence from a Hungarian field experiment
Findings from our pilot research project which focused on providing car sharing services to young people with different ethnic/racial background showed discrimination against certain ethnic groups. The research was based on a controlled field experimental design to examine the chances of rides being offered to racially different testers. The experimental variables were both race and gender. Creating altogether 8 profiles enabled us to test the in…
