Discrimination in Times of Crises and the Role of the Media
研究2020年1月至2021年6月以色列阿拉伯医生遭受顾客歧视的日常变化，发现新冠疫情爆发使歧视骤降，而种族骚乱则加剧歧视，媒体对阿拉伯医生抗疫贡献的报道是促成歧视下降的关键。
Can the extent of ethnic discrimination change quickly, and what circumstances and mechanisms make such changes possible? I address these questions by using scraped data to study the daily evolution of customer discrimination against Arab doctors in Israel from January 2020 to June 2021. Results show that: (1) the outbreak of the coronavirus crisis in March 2020 led to a dramatic decline in discrimination; (2) the eruption of a wave of ethnic riots in May 2021 had the opposite effect; (3) media coverage of the contribution of Arab doctors to the fight against the pandemic helped bring about the first change.
