We employ two by two design with two treatment variables. Thus, we send
3.000 application per sub-treatment (750 vacancies in each sub-treatment).

We send 1.450 resumes per sub-treatment in the Self-employment Status Part of Experiment

Intervention (Hidden)
|
Before
Large proportion of self-employed have migrant or ethnic minority background. The high rate of entrepreneurs with immigration background can be explained by different reasons. The opportunity driven immigrants enter entrepreneurship because of some advantage reasons such as the pronounced entrepreneurial culture in the country of origin or social capital in the host country (Brixy et al., IAB Kurzbericht 8/2011). Another type is necessity driven ethnic entrepreneurs. These are the representatives of ethnic minorities groups whose degrees may not be recognized in the host country or they face difficulties finding a job on the wage market because of ethnic discrimination (Sternberg et al., GEM, Unternehmensgründungen in weltweiten Vergleich, 2019).
We try to understand if high rate of self-employed among migrants is driven by the adverse treatment on the labour market.

A.. Self-employment Status Part of Experiment

We try to understand if high rate of self-employed among migrants is driven by the adverse treatment on the labour market.
B. Ethnic Minority Status Part of Experiment (INTRODUCED DUE TO THE COVID-19 OUTBREAK)
In rapid response to the COVID-19 outbreak, we introduced a sub-part of an experiment that focuses explicitly on the ethnic-minority discrimination replicating the design of our previous study( https://doi.org/10.1257/rct.1308-22.200000000000003.). We aim to assess the level of ethnic-minority discrimination during the pandemic by sending fictitious resumes where we randomly vary the Slavic and ethnic minorities sounding names for the resumes with equal quality e.g. Alexey Lebedev vs. Ansar Juraev. This part of the study is also registered in EEA COVID-registry, migrated later to Economics of COVID-19 Observatory (ECO) (https://www.economicsobservatory.com/ongoing-research/ethnic-employment-gap-during-the-covid-19-outbreak-great-equalizer-or-divider).
