对于第二代移民到欧洲的穆斯林来说，在经济一体化方面是否存在劣势？先前的研究未能分离出宗教对移民家庭就业机会的影响，因为其他因素，如原籍国或种族，会混淆结果。本文采用法国劳动力市场的对应检验来识别和衡量这种宗教效应。研究结果证实，在法国的劳动力市场上，反穆斯林歧视是存在的：穆斯林候选人获得面试回调的可能性是基督徒候选人的2.5倍。一项高n调查显示，与对应测试的预期一致，法国第二代穆斯林家庭的收入低于对应的基督徒家庭。因此，该文件有助于就穆斯林在欧洲的经历进行实质性辩论，也有助于就如何衡量歧视进行方法论辩论。根据美国国家科学院2001年关于结合各种方法并将其应用于实际情况的建议，本研究在控制种族和原籍国等潜在混淆因素的情况下，识别、测量和推断基于宗教信仰的歧视的后果。
Is there a Muslim disadvantage in economic integration for second-generation immigrants to Europe? Previous research has failed to isolate the effect that religion may have on an immigrant family's labor market opportunities because other factors, such as country of origin or race, confound the result. This paper uses a correspondence test in the French labor market to identify and measure this religious effect. The results confirm that in the French labor market, anti-Muslim discrimination exists: a Muslim candidate is 2.5 times less likely to receive a job interview callback than is his or her Christian counterpart. A high-n survey reveals, consistent with expectations from the correspondence test, that second-generation Muslim households in France have lower income compared with matched Christian households. The paper thereby contributes to both substantive debates on the Muslim experience in Europe and methodological debates on how to measure discrimination. Following the National Academy of Sciences' 2001 recommendations on combining a variety of methodologies and applying them to real-world situations, this research identifies, measures, and infers consequences of discrimination based on religious affiliation, controlling for potentially confounding factors, such as race and country of origin.
