I would like a summary for this text below as the content is related to discrimination in the housing market.

Discrimination in the housing market:

Carlsson and Eriksson (2014) have carried out the most comprehensive field experiment in the housing market. on the landlord's gender and origin, apartment types and region.In six months in 2010 and 2011 was almost sent

6,000 housing applications to private landlords throughout Sweden. Applicants' characteristics are generated randomly, and experimental data were combined with municipal data from Statistics Sweden. The researchers found that male applicants with Arabic-sounding names were exposed to discrimination to a lesser extent when the landlord had a foreign-sounding name Just like the majority of previous research, this research also reports discrimination against men who signal Arab origin. The research grant reports results that the degree of discrimination varies depending on the above-mentioned variables, such as type of apartment and region. The outcome of the experiment reports that landlords with a foreign surname discriminate against the man who signals Arab origin to a lesser extent than landlords who have a Swedish name. In addition, discrimination is more pronounced in cities outside metropolitan areas, as well as in areas with a high proportion of low-skilled people. In doing so, the researchers emphasize the importance of looking at regional differences and variations in both the landlords' ethnic background and the characteristics of the apartment in discrimination research (Carlsson & Eriksson, 2014).

Answer 1

Hey, I will try my best to give the answer in the best way i can .

SUMMARY -

Discrimination in the housing market in Sweden is basically against the Arabic/muslim people . Reading a few studies on the internet and some reality checks we can go to the conclusion that the property owners are less interested in selling or renting their properties to Arabic/muslim than the Swedish or some other people . No matter you have the capacity to pay much or not but these people are just not interested in giving their properties to Arabic people.

FROM INTERNET AND SOURCES FOR FURTHER INFORMATION .

The procedure involved our creating three fictitious persons with distinctive sounding ethnic and gender names. These individuals applied for vacant rental apartments in Sweden that were advertised by landlords on the Internet. Our findings show that the Arabic/Muslim male received far fewer call backs, enquiries, and showings than the Swedish male. Our observations also indicate that the Swedish female met with less difficulty in terms of finding an apartment than the Swedish male. Thus, based on our findings, we conclude that ethnic, as well as gender discrimination exists in the Swedish rental housing market.

discrimination in the housing market has not started now but it has been a part of our society for long enough. For example - There is little credible evidence on whether price discrimination exists in the housing market. Using a large sample of single-family home sales from Florida where both the race of the seller and buyer are known, we present evidence using the traditional and Harding et al. [HRS, Harding, J.P., Rosenthal, S., Sirmans, D.F., 2003. Establishing bargaining power in the market for existing homes. The Review of Economics and Statistics 85, (1) 178–188] approaches to empirical estimation. Omitted variable bias is found to plague the traditional approach. Results from following the HRS approach indicate that price discrimination exists by whites and Hispanics against blacks and Asians. Price discrimination against blacks is restricted to non-majority black neighborhoods and is smaller in magnitude in neighborhoods containing younger and more educated homeowners. Discrimination in the housing market may create large economic inefficiencies and unfair individual outcomes, but is very difficult to measure. To circumvent the problems with unobserved heterogeneity, most recent studies use the correspondence testing approach (i.e. sending fictitious inquiries to landlords). In this study, we generalize the existing methodology in order to facilitate a test of to what extent the measured degree of discrimination depends on applicant, landlord/apartment, and regional characteristics. To show how this more general methodology can be implemented, we investigate the effects of gender, ethnicity, age, and employment status in the Swedish rental market for apartments. Our results confirm the existence of widespread discrimination against some of the groups, but also show that the degree of discrimination varies substantially with landlord, apartment, and regional characteristics. This heterogeneity highlights the importance of using a broad approach when conducting correspondence studies.
