Race effects on eBay (2015)
"Abstract. We investigate the impact of seller race in a field experiment involving baseball card auctions on eBay. Photographs showed the cards held by either a darkskinned/African-American hand or a light-skinned/Caucasian hand. Cards held by African-American sellers sold for approximately 20% ($0.90) less than cards held by Caucasian sellers, and the race effect was more pronounced in sales of minority player cards. Our evidence of race differentials is important because the on-line environment is well controlled (with the absence of confounding tester effects) and because the results show that race effects can persist in a thick real-world market such as eBay.
