Correspondence testing studies : what can we learn about discrimination in hiring?

Dan-Olof Rooth (Linnaeus University, Sweden, and IZA, Germany)

Anti-discrimination policies play an important role in public discussions. However, identifying discriminatory practices in the labor market is not an easy task. Correspondence testing provides a credible way to reveal discrimination in hiring and provide hard facts for policies. The method involves sending matched pairs of identical job applications to employers posting jobs - the only difference being a characteristic that signals membership to a group.
