Using a large-scale field experiment in Switzerland, we reveal discrimination against applicants with names from Kosovo and Turkey in the housing market. Those who give more information in their apartment viewing requests received more invitations, but all (minority) groups benefit the same from more information, so discrimination isn't reduced as such.
