This study investigates whether behavioural interventions can reduce racial and gender discrimination in the rental housing market. In our correspondence tests, we incorporated two specific behavioural interventions: providing employment details to assist letting agents in overcoming statistical discrimination and incorporating anti-discrimination messages to encourage adherence to the ‘Equality, Diversity and Inclusion’ social norm. Although these strategies notably influenced the likelihood of prospective renters receiving responses to their housing inquiries, the outcomes were not consistent across genders or ethnic groups and were not always positive. Racial and gender discrimination in housing markets is a complex issue. There are no ‘one-size-fits-all’ solutions when using behavioural tools to address complex social problems such as racial and gender discrimination. Behavioural interventions demand rigorous field testing prior to widespread adoption.

隐藏我的名字就足够了吗？利用行为干预措施减轻租赁住房市场中的种族和性别歧视

本研究调查行为干预是否可以减少租赁住房市场中的种族和性别歧视。在我们的函授测试中，我们纳入了两项具体的行为干预措施：提供就业详细信息以帮助中介克服统计歧视，并纳入反歧视信息以鼓励遵守“平等、多元化和包容”的社会规范。尽管这些策略显着影响了潜在租房者收到住房询问答复的可能性，但不同性别或种族群体的结果并不一致，而且并不总是积极的。住房市场中的种族和性别歧视是一个复杂的问题。使用行为工具来解决种族和性别歧视等复杂的社会问题时，不存在“一刀切”的解决方案。行为干预措施在广泛采用之前需要进行严格的现场测试。
