<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:0.5in"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:black;background:white">We conducted an audit study on the general public—sending correspondence to 250,000 citizens randomly drawn from public voter registration lists. Our within-subjects
experimental design tested the public’s responsiveness to electronically delivered requests to volunteer their time to help with completing a simple task—taking a survey. We randomized whether the request came from either an ostensibly Black or an ostensibly
White sender. We provide evidence that in electronic interactions, on average, the public is less likely to respond to emails from people they believe to be Black (rather than White). . . . Our results provide a window into the discrimination that Black people
in the United States face in day-to-day interactions with their fellow citizens.</span><span style="font-size:11pt;color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
