Restricted access: Real estate agent response to client race, ethnicity, gender, and side of market
通过通信实验发现，房地产经纪人对白人客户的回复率比黑人和西班牙裔客户更高，对卖方和女性客户的回复率也高于买方和男性客户。
Abstract We design and implement a correspondence experiment to test for differences in real estate agent response across client race, ethnicity, gender, and side of market. Real estate agents are more likely to respond to White clients than Black or Hispanic clients—Whites have a 32.18% higher response rate than Hispanics and an 8.48% higher response rate than Black clients. We also find that real estate agents are more responsive to sellers (23.81% premium over buyers) and female clients (13.57% premium over males).
