本文运用审计研究方法对日本租赁住房市场的年龄歧视问题进行了研究。本文利用2001年大阪审计的数据，分析了老年人居住隔离与年龄歧视的程度和原因，论证了年龄歧视与居住隔离的关系。据估计，歧视程度很高：老年人被告知的可用住房单元数量减少了30%。计量经济学测试表明，对老年租房者的支付能力和租赁条款的刻板印象，以及年轻人对年轻居民所在社区的偏好，都会影响经纪人的行为。而老年人住房市场的年龄歧视和僵化可能是老年人居住隔离的原因。
This paper applies audit study technique to age discrimination in Japanese rental housing market. Using data from the 2001 Osaka Audits, this paper analyzes the level and causes of the discrimination, and argues the relation between age discrimination and residential segregation of elderly. The estimated level of discrimination is high: The number of available housing units about which elderly home-seekers are told is 30 percent fewer. Econometric tests suggest that stereotyping about elderly renters' ability to pay and rental terms, and young people's preference for a neighborhood of young inhabitants influences agent behavior. And age discrimination and inflexibility in the housing market for the elderly are probable reason for residential segregation of elderly.
