Race Effects on eBayIan Ayres. Mahzarin Banaji. and Christine Jolls1Abstract. We investigate the impact of seller race in a field experiment involving Race effects on ebayg baseball card auctions on eBay. Photographs showed the cards held by either a dark-skinned African-American hand or a light-skinnedCaucasian hand. Cards held by African-American sellers sold for approximately 20°o ($0.90) less than cards held by Caucasian sellers, and the race effect was more pron Race effects on ebayounced in sales of minority player cards. Our evidence of race differentials is important because the on-line environment is well controlled (with theRace effects on ebay
absence of confounding tester effects) and because the results show that race effects can persist in a thick real-world market such as eBay.JEL classRace Effects on eBayIan Ayres.
