Return on Trust is Lower for Immigrants
通过荷兰人口代表性样本实验,发现本土荷兰受托人对非西方移民委托人的信任回报比本土委托人低12%,对不喜欢种族多样性者低23%,表明存在基于偏好的歧视。
Abstract We conducted an experiment with a representative sample of the Dutch population to study whether trustworthiness depends on the ethnicity of the interaction partner. Native Dutch trustees play with an anonymous trustor, who is either another native Dutch or a non-Western immigrant. We find that trustees reciprocate trust up to 12% less if the trustor is a non-Western immigrant than if he/she is native Dutch. This percentage increases up to 23% for trustees who report disliking ethnic diversity in an independent survey. Since the decision to reciprocate does not involve behavioural risk, our results provide evidence of taste-based discrimination.
