Discrimination In Mortgage Lending: Evidence From A Correspondence Experiment, Andrew Hanson, Zackary Hawley, Hal Martin, Bo Liu Mar 2016

Economics Faculty Research and Publications

Our e-mail correspondence experiment is designed to analyze differential treatment by client race and credit score. Our results show net discrimination by 1.8% of MLOs through non-response. We also find that MLOs offer more details about loans and are more likely to send follow up correspondence to whites. The effect of being African American on MLO response is equivalent to the effect of having a credit score that is 71 points lower.
