Does more knowledge on anti-discrimination law relate to more support for anti-discrimination policy on the rental housing market
Discrimination is still a pervasive problem on the rental housing market. At the same time, the efficiency of anti-discrimination policies relies on the support for and knowledge of these policies. We examined to what extent landlords have knowledge of the anti-discrimination legislation in Belgium and whether their level of knowledge is related to their support for anti-discrimination policy measures. For these purposes, we performed a survey in…
Reducing ethnic discrimination in rental applications
While field experiments are valuable in their ability to objectively analyse patterns of discrimination, research that focuses on reducing discrimination is systematically lacking. The present study addresses this gap. Building on both cognitive and behavioural processes that steer discriminatory decision-making and insights from diversity literature, we develop and test the effectiveness of a training intervention which is tailored to the specif…
Identifying rental discrimination on the Flemish housing market
This study aims to identify rental discrimination on the Flemish rental housing market in Belgium, taking the intersectional nature of discrimination into account. Most discrimination studies focus on unequal access based on one individual discrimination ground. This practice eludes the context of the other discrimination grounds in which rental discrimination occurs and neglects the intersectional nature of discrimination. We therefore conducted…
Is labour market discrimination against ethnic minorities better explained by taste or statistics? A systematic review of the empirical evidence
Addressing methodological assumptions of correspondence tests when measuring discrimination
In this study, we introduce a critical assessment of methodological assumptions made by researchers when using correspondence tests to measure ethnic discrimination. We aim to investigate whether (1) the order in which the applications are sent out, between the test and control person, (2) the conducted matched triad tests, in comparison to matched duo tests, and (3) the timing of application within the week, have an effect on discrimination rate…
The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on ethnic discrimination on the housing market
This explorative study examines the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on ethnic discrimination. By means of 482 pairwise matched correspondence tests in pre-Covid times and 440 tests in Covid times, we examine discrimination against candidates of Maghrebian and Congolese origin on the housing market of a metropolitan city in Belgium. While the absolute invitation rates decreased for both Maghrebian and Belgian candidates at almost the same pace in …
