“…An enormous, rich, and growing literature shows that racial attitudes influence many Americans’ decisions ( Crabtree, 2018 ; Gaddis and Crabtree, 2021 ). We observe this robust stylized fact ( Crabtree and Fariss, 2016 ) of racial discrimination in the USA in multiple contexts, such as in the labor market, where employers give individuals from historically minoritized groups fewer opportunities and pay them lower wages ( Pager and Shepherd, 2008 ; Zschirnt, 2016 ; Quillian et al, 2017 ; Lippens et al, 2022 , 2023 ; Quillian and Lee, 2023 ). We also observe it in housing, where landlords and bankers are more likely to pass them over for approval as renters and homeowners ( Yinger, 1995 ; Flage, 2018 ; Gaddis et al, 2023 ), in credit decisions, where financial institutions reject them at higher rates and for them to pay higher interest rates, and in all manner of consumer interactions, where sellers quote them higher costs for goods and services ( Ayres and Siegelman, 1995 ; Doleac and Stein, 2013 ).…”
