我们使用实地实验来衡量斯德哥尔摩住房市场中的歧视。四个不同性别、有着不同发音的阿拉伯或瑞典名字的虚构人物被随机分配到空置公寓。我们推广了Ahmed和Hammarstedt(2008)的研究。有两个新的结果。首先，我们提供的证据表明，具有阿拉伯名字的女性没有或几乎没有性别溢价，这表明种族歧视主导着性别的影响。第二，歧视行为只出现在斯德哥尔摩县的郊区或卫星城/城镇，而不是人口稠密、富裕的市中心。此外，我们可以复制的是，拥有瑞典名字的女性有性别优势。然而，我们无法确认具有阿拉伯名字的男性是否面临歧视。
We use a field experiment to measure discrimination in the housing market in Stockholm. Four fictitious persons, of different gender, with distinct-sounding Arabic or Swedish names, are randomly assigned to vacant apartments. We extend the study by Ahmed and Hammarstedt ( 2008). There are two new results. First, we provide evidence that there is no or little gender premium for the female with the Arabic name, which suggests that ethnic discrimination dominates the effects of gender. Second, discriminatory behaviour is only found in the suburbs or satellite cities/towns of Stockholm County not in the densely populated, affluent, city centre. Moreover, we can replicate that there is a gender premium for females with Swedish names. However, we are not able to confirm that males with Arabic names face discrimination.
